I am so grateful for the world around, The beauty that surrounds, The trees that reach for the sky, The birds that sing their lullaby.
I am so grateful for the people in my life, My family, my friends, my life, Their love and support, it means so much, I thank the stars, the moon and the touch.
I am grateful for the little things, The flowers that bloom, the buzzing of the bees, The taste of coffee in the morning, The warmth of the sun, the rain falling.
I am grateful for my health, For the air I breathe, for the food I eat, For the ability to move, to think, to see, All blessings that help me to be.
I am so grateful for this life I lead, For all the joys, the love, the peace, I’ll cherish each day, and give thanks for all the beauty it brings. â¤ď¸
