Gratitude is the quiet, heartfelt recognition of life’s blessings, big and small, that enrich our days. It is the acknowledgement of the simple joys, fleeting moments, and enduring connections that make life meaningful. From the warmth of a sunrise to the love of family and friends, gratitude teaches us to see beauty in the ordinary and cherish every gift we’re given.

The Gifts We Often Forget

For the first breath of dawn, soft and new,
For skies painted gold and the morning dew.
For the warmth of the sun and the touch of the breeze,
For the dance of the leaves on whispering trees.

For a heart that beats and eyes that see,
For a mind that dreams and a soul that’s free.
For laughter shared and love that stays,
For the quiet comfort of familiar days.

For the food on our table, the roof overhead,
For the simplest joys, for the paths we tread.
For the kindness of strangers, the bonds that we share,
For moments of peace and answered prayers.

For lessons learned, both easy and tough,
For finding abundance when we feel there’s not enough.
For the strength to rise when the road feels steep,
For the stars that watch over us as we drift to sleep.

Gratitude lives in all that we see,
In the humblest of gifts, in life’s melody.
So let us be thankful, let’s cherish it all,
For the grand and the simple, the big and the small.
