Gratitude

Little things, tiny blessings.
Major events, gigantic triumphs.
Daily events, lifetime mileposts
the list of things I'm grateful for
grows, diverse, random, repetitious,
minutia and gargantuan...
Why is it important to list
what we're thankful for?
Because we race through life
aware only of those things that peeve,
of the annoyances, of the fears.
Because we look at our focus
and that's what we want to change
we fail to see the good until we take time
to examine the good, to find the gratitude
each day, a few at a time, a day full
of peace.
