I am grateful for my limits
that teach me patience and pace
I am grateful for challenge, defeat, and loss
They teach me hope is not a light at the end of the dark tunnel
It’s the ember burning within me that I forgot to fan
I am grateful to my teachers
for introducing me to myself
I am grateful for my past
that has delivered me to my present
I am grateful for all I have found and all I have lost
Both remind me I can live with and without
I am grateful for silence and for laughter
And for my ears that can hear both
I am grateful for Love
in all its forms
I am grateful to my parents
for teaching by example
I am grateful to my heart
that beats and breaks and heals
I am grateful for this life
that I wake up to every day
I am grateful for the fullness of my life
For the brief, heartbreaking, heartwarming fullness of life.
What are you grateful for?
