Gratitude…

Lana C. Robert 1960 (Louisiana)



~an exemplary attitude,
 Or even a power tool
Simple expressions,
recognition and
appreciation~
Give what is  due!
With
 Two words…
         Thank you!
Could be for any reason,
Anytime.
Even for a simple rhyme
Say it out loud
or, in a whisper
Consider this
Time’s a precious resource,
 Just  24- hours in a day.
Why not surrender?
Oh..
Please don’t delay
Or be a hard rock
…ticktock,
said the clock;
Then it stopped.

About this poem

Self reflection on the time we’re given in this life. I am reminded to live wisely. There is nothing I appreciate more than sincere gratitude in all that life offers in its splendor despite its pains.
