Sometimes I wake up with a breeze

And I can’t help but be on my knees

Thanking that which made all this aura

Sweet like an aroma, filled with the bloom of a flower

Sometimes the peace I have inside

Is stronger than any potent drug

That leaves me a complete free being

In need of nothing but myself smiling

Sometimes I forget all those days of distress

And in that moment, joy is my only interest

That any nay-say never changes my mind

Bliss finds me and makes me want to write

A little poem of gratitude

Thanking that which makes seasons flow

From struggle to self-sufficiency

From loss to a time where we find

Those gone teach us to love what remains

And to live every moment lovingly alive
