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.

  • Why Can’t I be Both

    Why can’t I be both 

    Why can’t I like

    Crop tops 

    And still support

    Women’s rights

    Why can’t I wear makeup 

    And still think 

    All bodies

    Are beautiful 

    Why is it bad

    One foot

    Infront of the other

    Head held high

    Flat expression

    On my face

    The only sign

    Of any emotion

    Are my fists

    Clenched by my sides

    Or my thumb

    Tapping each finger

  • I'm Sorry

    I'm sorry 

    I'm sorry for what 

    My country is doing 

    For what we seem to think 

    Is OK   

    I'm sorry for how 

    My president is acting
