grateful
the warmth of the coffee touches my lips
a bit to hot for me, so i take tiny sips
the flavour that i love soothes into my being
i comfort in it’s aroma and enjoy what i’m seeing
the heavy rain falling, with the wind blowing hard
a day like this is normally one i would easily discard
but there’s comfort in my soul, a sense of lovely peace
a security in my mind, that i never wish to cease
the stormy weather reminds me of how life at times is hard
how dreams can be blown away, and leave a life scarred
that life is so fragile
one second can change it all
one mistake can break you
no matter how small
i take this moment wisely and thank with all my heart
all that is around me, every taken for granted part
and think how foolish i have been to gripe away some days
when i should take those moments
and fill it with praise
