Grateful

I

am

Grateful
for…
…the little things.
Like presently not being ill
Or having to take a meal with a pill.
For having the choice of foods,
and the huge appetite to eat.
And when the air gets hot
that I can still feel the heat.

Grateful
for….
…Not writhing and moaning all night
From the pain of a sprained swollen ankle…
that on a sad day
when the sun’s not shining so bright
that I can still hear from dad and uncle.

Grateful
for…
…. the life that I was given
That is not my own
That even though things may seem pretty bad
They could have been pretty worse.
HE is the reason why even though I lost one
I did not lose all.


Grateful
for…
Being able to sit in a pharmacology class
Yet barely know the names of the most common drugs
Not from being overly dumb
But from a blessed healthy state
That has never lain on a hospital bed.

Grateful
for…
…being able to be grateful
For the joy in my heart
that sings a song that is thankful
the pleasant smiles of family and friends
that are wonderful, and beautiful.


Grateful
for
… Waking up this morning
to the coolness of the rain.
The comfort bed I lay
That makes me want
to go back to sleep again
To dream the sweet dreams
Where for a fleeting moment
I feel like I have attained.

Grateful…
That I have got you
That I met you, precious as you are…
For It’s in the little things you do
That show just how much you care
Whether near or far
You’ll always been my shining star.
