Hello,dear readers!
I've just read this poem and was so impressed by these simple but significant lines, that I have decided to share it with my friends and readers.
Nowadays such kind of reading is the best way to treat our souls, isn't it?
Learn to be Grateful by Edgar A. Guest
Be grateful for the
kindly friends
that walk along
your way;
Be grateful for the
skies of blue
that smile from day
to day;
Be grateful for the
health you own,
the work you find
to do,
For round about you
there are men
less fortunate than
you.
Be grateful for the
growing trees,
the roses soon to
bloom,
The tenderness of
kindly hearts
that shared your
days of gloom;
Be grateful for the
morning dew,
the grass beneath
your feet,
The soft caresses
of your babes
and all their
laughter sweet.
Acquire the
grateful habit,
learn to see how
blest you are,
How much there is
to gladden life,
how little life to
mar!
And what if rain
shall fall today
and you with grief
are sad;
Be grateful that
you can recall
the joys that you
have had.
Vocabulary
