Gratitude

Appreciation,
attitude of gratitude.
Being thankful for Being.

We give thanks today.
Fortunate to be here, now.
We are still alive.

We give thanks today.
For we are still here, breathing.
Air, life, presence, being.

So lucky we are.
Truly, immensely graced, blessed?
Gratitude to grace!

Silence and music.
Appreciation for both.
Yes, light. Yes, shadows.

Stillness and movement.
Appreciation for both.
Yes, faith. Yes, doubt too.

Showers of blessings,
fireworks of light and love.
Must be more than luck.

Thanks for the showers
of priceless unearned presents,
for sheer divine grace.
