Today, the words came to me Wrapped in their exclusive finery Ready to take me with them On a tour of the unknown alleys Of my heart, not visited by me Each word is a guide, leading me Towards the core of gratitude Being an avid traveler I was yet to take this journey With childlike glee I read each word Feelings which lay unexpressed Were touched by the magic message Like each new day brings fresh hope Each word spoke with such grace The roots of joy are rejuvenated And springs to blossom eternally To greet me with varied colors Of happiness, gratitude and hope Living each day in wonder Soft morning light ushers new day Gratitude in my prayer Before I start a brand new day
