it’s so easy to get lost in dismay
an attitude of gratitude goes a long, long way
When i wake up, i thank my maker
When i pour my cup, i thank my “coffee-maker”
When i go to work, i thank the pay-paychecker
When i get mad, at my teenager
I thank my mother, now I’m the care-taker
when you smile, upon seeing my face
I’m grateful for the day-changer
When you help me up,
Im thankful for grace
When i say thank you, and kiss your face
the attitude of gratitude
goes along
long way

Love the subject matter on this one. I’ve thought about gratitude a lot lately.
This line was charming and made me smile:
“When i pour my cup, i thank my ‘coffee-maker’ ”
Also the lines where you thank your mother now that you have your own child, that is so real and human and really great!
