The Power of Gratitude

A heart full of gratitude

Has the power to move boulders

To carry legions of warriors

On the slenderest of shoulders

A heart full of gratitude

Melts hatred and blame

With soft words and kind smiles

Can shed terror and shame

Can walk hundreds of miles

Will heal years of oppression

Make a humble confession

Will wipe a child’s tears

Love one’s own face in the mirror

A heart full of gratitude

Is more precious than gold

It finds that loving and giving

Never grows old

In the warmth of a hug

And the light of a smile

The worlds’ worries and terrors

Can dissolve for a while

So….let’s celebrate life

And feel joy in each other

Giving Him praise and glory

For each sister and brother
