Gratitude For Today
A new dawn
I’m grateful for a new day, a new dawn,
As I lay on my bed swathed in sunshine,
I’m grateful for my youngest son,
Who supports me through to the end of time.
I’m grateful for the breeze that billows,
As it caresses my humid skin,
I’m grateful for the softness of my bed,
As I rest a few minutes before I let my day begin.
I’m grateful for my baby girl,
As she purrs happily by my side,
I’m grateful for the summer warmth,
Thankful it’s time for winter to hide.
I’m grateful for a listening ear,
One person who shows me she is always here,
I’m grateful for my heart that beats,
Even when it’s full of fear.
I’m grateful for my first coffee of the day,
As it scolds my lips with heavenly bliss,
I’m grateful for my son’s good morning,
And again for his goodbye kiss.
I’m grateful for the body that houses my soul,
For sticking in the game, even though it’s growing old,
I’m grateful for the life I’ve…
