Gratitude

What does it mean?

This holiday season

What has it become?

Is our gratitude without reason?

It comes in many stretches

Many ways of size

It may be an emotion inside

But it can leave one to their own guesses

As to why they feel what they do.

It is not a mistake

It is not unnecessary

It's just an emotion

But is an emotion, all the while

Whether it's one smile

Whether it's a friendly motion

Whatever it is you take

From it

This gratitude

Was not a mistake

It's all in the attitude,

One may think

But one can be thankful

For lots of things

That's for them to find out

What they do with the gratitude

Is their own choice

Gratitude is like nothing else

Perhaps, then, you'll realize

How truly blessed you are.
