While we’re busy cursing our luck and our lives,
And blaming the Fates, the Gods, and the stars above
For perceived and often fictitious miseries-
Probably figments of our imagination,
Someone is out there,
Barely struggling to survive
Fighting losing battles
And envying all we have.
Our looks, our hair, our nose, our eyes, our smile.
Our dimples, our freckles, our frowns
Our homes, our families, our jobs, and our friends.
These are God-given treasures that we ignore daily.
And so very often
Perceived as irksome and vexatious.
They dream of the things we take for granted daily,
Their silent wishes echo in the night.
For every sigh we breathe in utter despair,
There's someone who would trade their sorrows.
just to be in ours.
So, let’s pause and ponder.
On the myriad gifts we hold.
The simple blessings scattered throughout our day.
And our life….
The morning light that warms our sleepy eyes,
The laughter shared with those we dearly love,
The meals enjoyed,
the comforts of hearth and home.
These are the riches many only dream.
A thousand unseen eyes look on with hope,
Their envy is pure- a testament to us.
Let’s be not blind to all that we possess,
For gratitude can turn the tide of thought.
In moments dark, we should remember what we have,
And know that in this world of varied fates,
We are blessed in ways we can't imagine yet.
The grass may seem much greener far away,
But every blade is rooted in its place.
So, let’s embrace the life we live.
With pure and open hearts,
For even in the mundane, there is grace.
Let’s try and be grateful for the things.
that seem so small,
For in their light, our lives are truly blessed.
