Say Thank You and Thank You and Thank You again

An attitude of Gratitude comes from the heart

Regardless of how hard it is, to sometimes start

Most days I'm filled with all kinds of Bliss

I name things around me and try not to miss

The trees, the birds, the sun and the sky

horses and rabbits, even insects that fly

With the excitement of a child my list can go on

On the  days filled with Joy it is gratitude I don

Yet when my heart's filled with sorrow and pain

It's hard to feel grateful with inward disdain

A teacher just told me as recent as  today

Repeat the words Thank You  come what may

Saying  the words Thank You again and again

Repetition wins over and soon comes the Zen

For regardless the pain there are lessons to learn

It's hard to be thankful when for them, it's your turn

But Thankful I'll be as the words I repeat

For one day the lessons will just fall at my feet

Today let me start when  I open my eyes

Saying Thank You for giving me this day to rise

And may I remember all during the day

To be grateful for everything that comes my way

For people I meet and the lessons I learn

Even in darkness it's to the Light I will  turn

Say Thank You and Thank You and Thank You again

For my life is full of the now, not the when

And when it comes time to lay down my head

It's thoughts  of my Blessings as I crawl into bed

For the people I've met who touched my heart

And for the abundance I do have in my life's cart

For it's all how you look at it, that's just how it goes

When everything's a Blessing;  the highs and the lows

Your Life will seem Lighter I promise this when

You say Thank You and Thank You and Thank You again
