We always have something <br />to be grateful for, <br />our family and friends <br />whom enrich our lives <br />with their words of kindness <br />and their deeds of unconditional love. <br /> <br />We may at times be low in spirit, <br />feel we cannot carry on, <br />but we are grateful for the person <br />who will put sunshine in our lives. <br />Raise our sprits with their words <br />and plant a smile on our face. <br /> <br />Being grateful comes with no obligations <br />except to treat another <br />in a similar way. <br />Give them a lift in their lives, <br />plant a smile on their face, <br />then we will be grateful for <br />the good that we can do. <br /> <br />We should never turn away <br />that little cry for help, <br />but be grateful that they came to us <br />to help them through their crisis. <br />Hoping one day, <br />they might do the same for us. <br /> <br />6 March 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-grateful/
