Gratitude

for the life we are given

the ability to sense and feel

an opportunity to listen

 

Our hearts beat

as the blood continues to flow

beautiful rhythm

from fast to slow

 

Lungs are next

filled with clean air

contracting and expanding slowly

sweet sensations for the nares

 

Arms and legs

to sense all that is around

dancing to music

there is joy abound

 

Gratitude

contentment along the way

life is a gift

to be treasured each day
