Be grateful for what you have,

 Be grateful for what you have,

rather than longing for what you lack.

For life is not measured by what is missing,

but by the blessings already in your hands.

There are mornings filled with light,

there are moments gentle and small.

A breath, a smile, a place to rest,

simple gifts that mean it all.

Do not let your heart keep counting

everything that you don't possess.

Look around and see the blessings,

hidden quietly in your days.

Be grateful for what you have,

instead of grieving what you don't.

What seems small within your hands

may be another's greatest hope.

Let gratitude fill your heart,

let every blessing become enough.

For when you learn to truly see,

you'll find that life has given so much.

There will always be something greater,

another dream beyond your sight.

But chasing what you cannot hold

may make you miss today's light.

So breathe and look around you,

embrace the life you're living now.

Not every blessing needs to shine,

some arrive in silence somehow.

Be grateful for what you have,

rather than longing for what you lack.

For a heart that learns to appreciate

will always find its way back.

And when tomorrow brings new blessings,

receive them with a thankful heart.

For gratitude does not ask for more,

it teaches us to treasure what we have.

Be grateful...

for every breath,

for every day,

for every chance to love.

Be grateful...

for what is here,

for what remains,

and for the blessings yet to come.
