DAILY GRATITUDE PEOPLE

 

I am grateful for all the people in my life

who, whenever my wings have been broken

have come by to help my broken wing mend…

who through their love, 

their caring and support

have helped me fly again.

PEACE

 

May our hearts be lifted on the wings of hope

as we wish for a world where hatred, wars and killing will finally cease…

and may our spirits be lifted as well

on the gentle wings of love…and joy and peace.

OUR BROKEN WINGS

 

We stopped in to see our grand niece…who recovering from hip surgery…

is a like a bird with a broken wing…

Lunch and some time together…we were more than happy to bring. 

Her family and friends are all taking turns stopping in or coming by…

to spend some time and lift her spirits until she’s ready to fly.

What we discovered on this visit…both inspiring and electrifying…

Is how one broken wing can’t stop one’s hopes and dreams from flying… 

As we ate and talked and laughed discussing many things

I thought how, at one time or another, we’ve all had broken wings.

And how lucky we are to have family and friends…who take the time to drop by

to lift our spirits until our wing is healed and we once again can fly.

How a broken wing, with the help of family and friends, isn’t as bad as it first seems

how if we’re patient with a little encouragement…

we’ll be back to flying with our dreams.

It made me think of all the people in the world with broken wings 

and how If we treated them with the same kindness, love and grace…

we’d all be happily united into making the world a better place.

Because every moment we help anyone recover from a broken wing

when we offer our support…when we help them to survive

these are the moments in life we are at our best…when we truly feel alive.

And shouldn’t our goal in life…each day as we head out our front door

be to treat everyone like they have a broken wing…

and leave them a little better than the were the day before.

A little happier, like our grand niece, knowing someone cares…

knowing they are not alone…

and knowing they’re one day closer to when their wing is mended 

and they are flying on her own…

A MOTHER'S LOVE

 

 I am grateful for a mother’s love…

for it has been perceived…

a mother’s love begins not when we’re born…

but the moment we’re conceived…

And it grows more brilliant with every sunset

more vibrant with every dawn…

so powerful is a mother love…

we can feel it…

even when they’re gone.

MOM GIFTS

 

May we be blessed to have been given a Mom

whose gifts are her kindness, her caring

her love, her support and her compassion…just to name a few…

Gifts passed down to us so if we ever have a daughter

Who decides to be a mother…

She will share those same Mom Gifts…

with all her children too.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 2026

 

“Mommy!” a daughter asked her mother…

as she sat atop her knee…

“Do you know when it was…you fell in love with me?”

 “I’’m going to let you in on a little secret.” Her mom smiled

“And I swear that this is true…for as long as I can remember…

I’ve been in love with you.”

“The idea of you was always in the back of my mind…

The thought of you…alive…

and I spent a good deal of my life…waiting for you to arrive.”

“You were the wisp of a dream when I was young…

A wish, a hope…I knew one day would come true…

And I was so excited and happy…

when I found out that dream…was you.”

“So for an answer to your question…here’s the best that I can do…

As long as I can remember…there was a place in my heart…

I had reserved for you.”

“A safe, warm and comforting place

where my love for you has thrived…

And there it waited patiently for the day you would arrive”

“And though the moment I first held you in my arms

while crying joyful tears…

was the moment I first whispered ‘I love you’ in you ears.”

“With all those years of love stored up

waiting for the day our lives would intertwine…

the truth is I did not fall into your love…

you fell into mine.

DAILY GRATITUDE MEMORY

 

I am grateful for every moment of my life I can recall

spent with friends and family members…

and just as grateful I’ve been created

with the ability to remember.
