DAILY GRATITUDE MY HEART

 

I am grateful for all those times I have listened to my heart.

Grateful for all the times my heart has awakened me…

and grateful for all the wonderful places in this life

my heart has taken me.

HEART GUIDE

 

May we be blessed those times we’re lost…

confused…dealing with sorrow, struggles and strife…

to allow our hearts to be our compass

that guides us through such moments in our life.

YOUR HEART

 

Whenever I have a decision to make I listen for some cueing

from all the voices in my head…

happy to advise me on what I should be doing.

Oftentimes at the moment when inspiration I am seeking

“It is much too dangerous!” Is the voice I hear first

(Experience is speaking).

My heart is next…always waiting in the wings behind me…

“But there is a little danger in all adventures”

He hastens to remind me.

Pride is usually the next to speak…hoping a level head will prevail.

He is always quick to ask…“What happens if you fail.”

Again my heart is prepared to answer… 

Ready with words of guidance when I’m in need…

“Yes.” He whispers in my ear.

“But what happens if you succeed.”

Reason then throws in his two cents…

“Why not play it safe.” He cries…

To which my heart responds…

“You’ll never know…until you try.”

After listening to all the voices…

a diverse and vehement array…

and analyzing very carefully 

Every word they say…

I thank them for their counsel…

for in my decision they playing an important part

Then I smile and usually decide 

to follow the voice inside my heart.

I may not always make the wisest decision…

but in the life I’m trying to create…

I am often very happy

when my heart wins the debate.

DAILY GRATITUDE LIPS AND ARMS

 

I am grateful for my lips 

and grateful for my arms too

and I hope they will alway do…

what they were created and meant to do.

Our lips are meant for speaking words of love and kindness

and meant for kissing too….

Our arms are meant for welcoming others

for hugging when someone is happy

and hugging when someone is blue.

WHAT A KISS AND A HUG CAN DO

 

 May we be blessed to understand….

especially on days we’re feeling blue…

exactly what a simple hug and kiss can do.

They help us connect to others 

They’re like an umbrella in the rain…

They help reduce our stress 

as well as eat our pain.

They remind us someone love us

They can help to ease our fears…

They let us know we’re not alone…

They can wipe away our tears.

I wonder in this time of upheaval

with people at each other’s throats

and countries waging war….

If this hatred for one one another would cease

If we hugged and kissed a little more.

THEIR FIRST KISS

 

He remembers everything about their first kiss

It’s a feeling that never goes away…

He remembers their first kiss…as if it happened yesterday… 

And after all these years he still kisses her the same…

before each kiss he holds his breath 

and with a smile…shuts his eyes…

and here's the reason why…

He closes his eyes when he sleeps…

to allow his dreams to come through…

and he closes his eyes when he kisses her…

because each kiss another dream come true.

He held his breath before their first kiss…

which he still does today….

because every time she kisses him…

she takes his breath away.

He understands how lucky he’s been…

that together in life they’ve been immersed

and he knows if there ever is a last kiss between them

it will be as beautiful

as exciting

and as beautiful 

as the first.

DAILY GRATITUDE PEOPLE

 

I am grateful 

for the variety of people whose path’s in life I’ve crossed

who were behind me those times I’ve succeeded…

as well all the times I’ve lost.

For every person along the way…every encounter…

I’ve gained new knowledge from…

and all have helped to strengthen me

for whatever is yet to come.
