GRATITUDE

To take things for granted,
its like law of diminishing returns,
one starts to feel entitled, views slanted.
For gratitude builds up your immunity.
And it suppresses stress by necessity
Thus one has both science and philosophy
to  reveal that gratitude has this hidden Utility.

Gratitude is key to contentment.
To be grateful for things in life with intent
will mean more things you will have in life to be grateful for and to a greater extent.
Gratitude is almost a silent fulfilment.

Gratitude is a precious sense within your being.
It can even set your heart afloat with muffled singing.
Old friends are like gold
new  friends like diamond.
Don’t ignore either
because just like a gold ring holds
an array of diamonds
so are both old and new friends important.
Gratitude for good friends is a constant.
And a friend in need is a good friend indeed.

Gratitude touches every aspect of our aptitude.
You feel good within you even in solitude.
We don’t have to have fancy food
what we have we should be grateful
no expensive delicacies as a ‘should’
realise that the starving will eat even
a discarded morsel if they could,
life is so perilously crude!

Gratitude is a reverberating feel-good ‘counter’.
One good turn deserves another.
Same as gratitude begets gratitude,
and builds up goodwill in magnitude,
a blessing all the way in our attitude.
Thus we should always be mindful of gratitude.
Gratitude has this hidden beauty,
it brings out in the open our best quality.
