Gratitude - A Poem

A morning poem on one of my favorite topics and what helped me to heal.. Gratitude!

Gratitude

Gratitude opens doors

that were right here all along

it changes your focus from lack

allowing you to feel strong.

When you pay attention

to all the world has given you to possess

it transforms the energy around you

granting you the beauty of feeling blessed.

There is so much to be grateful for

relationships, surroundings and YOU

Focusing on what is good

opens those doors to receiving something new.

When you focus on relationships

hone in on what felt beautiful and loving, not fear

It will open your heart to goodness

you will know that love is always near.

As you look at your surroundings

See all the little things you have received

your home, running water, your pillow or bed

More goodness surrounds you than originally believed.

It’s time to turn the mirror of gratitude on you

your gifts, your characteristics, each and every part

You may be sensitive, caring, genuine

or perhaps you excel at a creative art.

Focusing on yourself as is

knowing you are doing all you are able

allows that warm glow of self-love to enter

steps you up to feeling empowered and enabled.

Lack comes from that tricky mind

saying we never have enough

but you can tame that ego

knowing life is about more than acquiring “stuff”.

Be happy now and you will see life change

sprinkle gratitude into every day

there is so much to feel blessed for

even more when gratitude leads your way.

Sending many blessings your way! ??
