A Thankful Heart

expressions of daily gratitude offer healing solace for deep set emotional wounds

In the cold lonely moment
when grief clouds the mind
find solace in feeling thankful
for any blessing that may have shined.

light makes darkness go away
makes the tiniest seed grow
nurtured by gratitude's show
when put on full display

when a troubled spirit
clings to the day
offer a treasured memory
let it have full sway

take a single deep breath
hold its heart beating life
breathe out feelings of strife
to sorrow say good night

for dreams are made of better things
than weariness, or thoughts of loss
when you close your eyes in sleep
dream with the wings of a better tomorrow.
