The things I take for granted

By Gali

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.

    A man makes a dollar

    For every time a woman gets spoken down on

    A man is the speaker

    For every time a woman gets called weak

    A man is weaker

    A spark of equality

    A spark of freedom

    Eyes search the sky

    Spend hours searching

    Looking

    Hoping

    Wishing to wish
