Gratitude

What is gratitude?

How do we recognize gratitude

Gratitude is a smile on someone’s   face

It’s a glow of peace and contentment

What is that person grateful for?

They are thankful for all they have

and all they know will come

Let’s look at grateful,

it’s family

it’s friends

it’s flowers

it’s pets

it’s a beautiful day

it’s rain

it’s snow

it’s sunshine, birds singing and flying in the company of another or even a group

yes, gratitude is a lot

things that if we don’t have makes our world a bit darker

so let’s keep on the light

and

praise God!

Thoughts on pigeons

Every day I sit on my veranda to look at the homing pigeons or at least that is what we called them in St.Kitts. Twice a day they are released to their never ending gratitude to be free in mother earth. Twice a day they sit on a wire between two buildings and fly around when they feel like it. I fly with them,I jump off the top of the building with them and what a joy to be free with them. Sometimes a few of them walk on the narrow top and when they reach the end the simply free fall and fly back to the wire. They don’t seem to need conversation, just to sit in each other’s company. I don’t know how they know when to go home but they do and i sense an acceptance to this comfortable routine. I also am grateful to experience such simple Joy and I give thanks to God!

Strawberry Season

Shiny and begging

to be picked

So many patiently

waiting in the

Soft sun

waving wind

Slowly in soft motion

I plan to pick

but I hesitate

which one to pick

luscious and waiting

to please and delight

So I choose the

one that is close to me

and gently pulling

one is released and

an explosion of flavor

splatters all over into my senses

I swoop down and pick and eat

to my heart’s delight

my soul replenished

Sometimes

Sometimes when life is blue
I try my very best
To make it azure blue
So I can feel
Sunshiny
Again

Tired morning

Awakening to a tired morning
I remember to give thanks for
A new day
Another chance
To taste
Life in all it’s glory
And then
Somehow
The morning isn’t so tired
After
All

Smile

Smile when you’re happy
Smile………when…….you’re……sad
Smile and the sun
Will shine
Again….
