a poem in my pocket

Day 2 of Mira’s 3 Days/3 Quotes challenge…and linking to dVerse poets

Have you read Ann Voskamp’s book, one thousand gifts?    a holy experience

“An attitude of gratitude”

may seem a simple platitude

But learning to appreciate

small blessings given makes life great

Give thanks for colored leaves on trees

give thanks for buzzing honey bees

I’m grateful to be breathing air

i’m thankful Shondra cuts my hair

Sneak sniff of flower petals sweet

taste gladly everything you eat

Give thanks for babies’ soft new skin

give thanks for sleep at home with kin

Be happy for bright shining stars

take care of Earth, can’t live on Mars

We give our thanks to God above

for sharing His abundant love

Increase your joy, expand your mind

count every blessing you can find!

Hey, look at that…i even rhymed 🙂
