Gratitude is
appreciation for people, places, and things, as well as,
for ideas, qualities, and feelings
Gratitude is
thankfulness, and I use it like a key
A key to inspire strangers, my friends, and me
A key to life that sets me free
A key to heal insult and injury
A key to awareness, when I refuse to dream
A key to finding forgiveness and feeling peace
A key to manifest my desires, what I want, and who I want to be
A key to light the dark times, when I can’t see
A key to expressing my preferences, what I love, the real me
A key to feeling the present moment, gently
A key to reconnect me to humility
A key to boundless opportunity, when I get caught in my limited certainty
A key to transcendence, imagination, and epiphany
A key to turn the hardest moment into a glorious journey
A key to the only foolproof system of love in the galaxy
A key to access infinite possibilities
And when I share my gratitude,
gratitude enriches you and me
Gratitude is actually the doorway,
choice is the real key
The best part about gratitude
is that gratitude is always…
absolutely…
free!
