To Have a Grateful Attitude

To have a grateful attitude

is always to believe

That everything in life

is but a gift that we receive,

So if the day brings laughter,

dark clouds, or hills to climb,

The heart can still be thankful

for hope and strength and time,

And gratitude remembers

throughout the longest night

That hands were made for holding,

that morning brings the light.
