I am grateful for the rising sun,
For every day that’s just begun.
The golden light that warms my face,
And time that moves at its steady pace.
I am grateful for the gentle rain,
For cleansing drops and easing pain.
For flowers blooming in the spring,
And all the joy that seasons bring.
I am grateful for the love I’ve known,
In hearts that have called my own.
For family, friends, and voices near,
For their laughter, strength, and care sincere.
I am grateful for the lessons learned,
From roads I've walked and corners turned.
For every stumble, fall, and fight,
That shaped my path and gave me sight.
I am grateful for the quiet nights,
The stars that pierce the endless heights.
For dreams that whisper, hope that stays,
Guiding me through shadowed days.
What am I grateful for, you ask?
It’s life itself—this fleeting task.
A gift, a journey, a fleeting song,
Each moment precious, each step strong.

Blown away by the strength of your rhyme, and every single example given. If there were such a thing as a literary dictionary with a poem to define and describe every word, there would be no better piece to represent the true meaning of gratitude.
