The things I take for granted

I am grateful

For the feeling of joy

The feeling of peace

Of happiness

I am grateful for

My little sister's cheery face

My friend's laughter

My parents' words of wisdom

My sibling's ideas

I am grateful for

The sky

That stretches above us

All blue and beautiful

I am grateful for the stars

Sprinkled in the sky

Glittery

Shining

Wish upon one

I am grateful for

All the things

I take for granted

I am grateful

That I can recognize

The things I take for granted

Posted in response to the challenge Grateful.

What do I do if falling in love
Is like free-falling but not knowing where
