Heartfelt Gratitude Poem by Arti Chopra

Words do often fail me,
Doubts sometimes assail me,
How can I ever express,
With what words do I profess
my extreme gratitude
To my maker....

I have a house to live in,
Enough good food to eat,
My parents so good so wonderful,
My childhood was so sweet.

My body is fairly healthy,
Apart from the normal wear and tear
A wonderful partner
To share life with,
And bestow him nurture, and care

Children who are good humans
Grandchildren a joy to behold
So many countless blessings
Too many to be counted, or told

Friends who are really true friends
Always there for him and me,
With who we can share our moments,
Over a cup of tea.

Friends to have fun with,
And reminisce later over the years,
Friends who know you inside out
Who will confide in you, their fears

So many blessings from the supreme one
So many joys yet to be seen,
So many hardships surmounted well,
So many mistakes that could have been

And through this rough and stormy sea
Called LIFE
So well he has steered my boat,
And all I can do is bow my head,
And hope all will read my quote

Don't take life for granted
Every blessing is by his will
Every success and every sorrow is his,
With which he has filled your till

Just remember him every minute
With a prayer of sincere gratitude
And he will bestow you courage,.
To face life with fortitude.
