Thankfulness
Seeing the sun rise
In the morning, be grateful
Loved ones are with you
We are fortunate
To be blessed with little things
Ignored by others
They crave for solace
Which so often escape them
But we are lucky
So common for most
Looking upwards to the sky
We offer our thanks!

Amen Hank - nicely composed too.
Beautiful! A lovely prayer, looking upwards at the sky.
Yes!
As Oscar said, and you so perfectly illustrate in this piece:
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
We are indeed blessed with so much...this is a lovely reminder for us to appreciate all we have. Your poem is an inspiration...thank you...:)
Ollie,Sherry,Paul and Lynette,
Thanks for the visit, thank you all!
A thoughtful poem valuing those things we often take for granted!
Dear Sir Hank
Great form, lovely poem.
Ms Adams (G.Territory),
It's great for you to come by. Went thru your blogs. My, what a treasure trove - student's microfiction, paintings/poetry, meme line-ups, pics/poetry, Zanzibar! Gosh! Just great. Will make regular visits. Thanks again!
Dear Ninot Ma'am,
Thanks,I'm having fun. Found sudden surge of paintings blogs. 'Pucuk dicita....' Great! Just great!
The art blogs are amazing. I actually have scrapbooks and the doodle once in a while.
You pic makes me jealous. Paris is the city Rudi and I REALLY want to visit.
Maybe in 2011. BIG MAYBE.
Ninot Ma'am,
Scrapbooks, doodling? That's great! The art blogs are giving me ideas too, ie a painting accompanied with a haiku. Thinking of creating a new blog just for that.
The mind has a way of making things happen.Thinking hard on it will influence the sub-conscious. What with your French, it's ideal! You'll be there!
We so often overlook the many gifts within each and every day... yet we are very 'fortunate to be blessed with little things'.
Nice write!
Petrina ( Reflections),
