Gratitude Works

Relating to kindness:
I am so grateful for love that expects nothing in return:
     A baby's diaper is changed time and again,
     Nurses cool the fever of a sick person,
     A few dollars are given to a beggar on the street,
     And people are seen through the eyes of compassion.

Relating to happiness:
I am so grateful for honoring the "child in me."
     Eating all the brownies my heart desires,
     Or teasing a kitten with a ball of string,
     Smiling at puppies through the window of a pet store,
     And having a fit of giggles over something silly.
