Gratitude Poem by Justin Jenkins

Little whispers that soften our day
Words and actions that seem so cliche
Blinding deeds that catch our sight
Casting their kindness in every light

Smiling through all the tears we cry
A glimpse of humanity before it dies
Little gestures that are larger to forget
Taking it for granted is our only regret

Being thankful for what God enables
Our choice of where to sit at his table
Dishes made with love to warm our soul
And a snowy gift from the North Pole

Cards that are sent wishing us well
Lifting our spirits when we are down
Searching for a field to find a flower
A bow to make you sweet from sour

Simple touches that stroke our heart
Many acts of kindness to play our part
Don't forget to be thankful in the end
Taking time out to all we can lend

We never know what blessings are in store
Just be ready when it knocks on your door
No expectations for those who are faithful
Thanking each other for being grateful
