DAILY GRATITUDE BEING A DREAMER

 

I am grateful for being a dreamer…

I dream of a world filled with peace, acceptance and love

I dream for hatred, prejudice and wars to be forever gone…

and I’m grateful for the stars and the moon

for creating the wonders I have always dreamed on.

LIKE THE MOON

 

May we be blessed to look to the moon for guidance…

To understand:

No matter what phases we may be going through

that have caused us to hate each other…to fight…

It is only by coming together…

that we will be able to light up the night

IN THE GLOW OF THE MOON

 

It was 4 A. M. when I happened to look out our window 

and what I saw on the ground and in the sky

made me wonder for a moment…if I could trust my eyes.

At first glance it seemed to be the morning…but I knew I was up too soon

the light I was seeing wasn’t the sunrise…it was created by the moon.

It wasn’t only the full moon resting on the clouds over the mountains…

It was also what I saw on the ground below. 

The snow that had blanketed the ground yesterday…

at 4 in the morning was aglow.

I stepped outside to only cold and silence.

The animals were either sleeping or trying not to freeze

because all this beauty came at a cost…it was only 4 degrees.

As I stood there bundled up…also trying not to freeze

I was mesmerized by the moon glow off the clouds, the mountains

and how it cast shadows of the trees.

The high winds that were predicted…either came and went

or, for the moment, decided to cease…

Standing there in the glow of the moon

It was as if the whole world was at peace.

I stood there captivated…onto that magical moment I wanted to hold.

and bathed in the warmth of nature’s beauty…I realized…I was no longer cold…

And I found myself making a wish…

standing there in the glow of the moon…

that the peace I was feeling this morning

would find its way to the whole world soon…

LOVE PROTECTS

 

I am grateful for the words of Jeanne Moreau

who one might consider a sage:

Age does not protect you from love…she wrote

But love

to some extent

protects you from old age

CENTER STAGE

 

They fell in love when they were young

and at that time their love took center stage

even as they lyrics changed throughout the years

adding jobs and friends…

as the two of them slowly aged. 

Then one day their children took center stage

and soon they found…

their love…still strong

could now be spread around.

 

Then the children grew and the house seemed empty

until their grand children took center stage…

and they found their love for each other and family 

remained strong

as they both reached middle age.

Now, much older…with a great-granddaughter

Added to a family that commands the center stage…

they have settled down together

and are enjoying the glory of old age.

DAILY GRATITUDE THOW WHO HELPED MOLD ME.

 

I am grateful for the person I’ve become

and are evolving into every day

and grateful to all those people 

who have helped

mold me along the way.

ONE BIG FAMILY

 

NELLA’S BLESSING

I wish every person in the world would understand

would somehow come to see

how every person in the world

is part of one large extended family…

That we can make this world a better place

with less violence, less prejudice, less mayhem

If whatever troubles people are facing…

we help each other through them.
