My heart does sing
A song so pretty
Blossoms bloom
Grass grows
And
Birds sing
For the song
Sung
Doesn’t weep
but reaches, holds up with strength
All that’s needed
To keep the earth whole
Skies blue
Stars shining
And
Waters running
For they too
Sing
Such a lovely song
Of grace, beauty
And
Sincere gratitude.

Respect, gratitude
All needed
Felt
With a sincere attitude.
Let love hold you safe
Feel secure
In arms
That envelope you.
Know
In the morning
Late at night
You’re not alone.
You have
A saviour, a protector
A guiding light
Holding you.

Can I fix it?
Will I be the one
That’s the hero
In a situation
That should not be?
Crushed and miserable
Full of doubt
Must move forward
Cast it out.
Smile with gratitude
Mean it
See it radiate
All about.
My strength and smile
Will cast misery out.
Can I fix it?
I have no doubt.

Crusades of magnitude bringing forth attitude
Not seen since the life of you
Brought heart to a tortured world.
Bring it here, bring it near
Then we’ll see who needs
Who cares and who will succeed.
My transient dear show no fear
Show life filled with strife
Maybe struggle and tremendous gratitude.
That’s when you’ll live
When you’ll die and the rest of us
We will surely cry.

Grateful gratitude
Thank you for your assistance
With deepest gratitude.
So helpful
Your smiling face full of grace
Mine full of gratitude
I thank you.

May your time on earth
Be full of happiness and gratitude
No sorrow to speak of
Just the loving love we seek
Here on earth my love.

Sunset rests and meditates
Sees life in all its states
Smiling sweetly, caressing care
This is needed, we must share.
Love of life not destitute
Living on the edge of gratitude
You are mine and I don’t care
To hold the reins of any old despair.
Travel thru bright, clear day
See the sunset rise
Filling hearts far into
Lovely evening tide.

Drip, drip of falling rain
Settles deep down the drain.
Is my life like that rain?
Have I flushed myself away?
Can I grasp strands of grace, gratitude
Interspersed with love
Pulling up myself to stay
in a world not only to survive
But live a life
Where I don’t want to die.

We are slowly rising up
Taking back what belongs to us
No reproach
Just get it done
Everlasting gratitude has begun.
