Let your words not be without a heart
Even though sometimes your heart may be without words
I would rather my heart without words than my words without a heart
Looking around and deeply enough, ring your praises through the earth
Let your praises ring through His holy court
Dance like no one is looking even with your best dress or shirt
It takes a heart deep in gratitude to have thanksgiving blurt
Even in the midst of obvious confusion and hurt
There is always something to be thankful for, don't keep it short
Life will either bless you or bury you depending on your perspective
An attitude of gratitude will turn your life into the beatitudes
Another day, another month, still in another year
There is nothing else to fear or nothing to look down to tear
Courage isn't the absence of fear but the presence of it yet the will goes on
Ability to be thankful in the midst of obvious uncertainties help
It stems from the place of deeper understanding of who God is
Not influence by the variable factors of how life deals with us
God is still the same God, in good times and not so good moments
When the chips are down, who do you look up to or you encourage side comments?
Job was still grateful even in the midst of the devil's torments
Life can't be perfect and there would be moments of doubts and unpleasantness
The place or people you turn to determines in what and who you anchor your faith
The year is creeping slowly yet unsuspecting
Your heart's attitude of gratitude makes good things not go undetecting
Never absord other people's realities by having their fears on your projecting
God for all but only with each man's heart we do the connecting
Gratitude is an application for the next...keeps you expecting
And never of God's goodness can you leave neglecting
It's another month, another day to be grateful - this is directing
Let this poem or words leave you reflecting
Your gratitude or lack of it despite present realities
Is majorly dependent on your perspective to life and gratitude
Just as much as our exposure shapes our realities
It all depends on you and how you choose to react or respond to it
Thank you for your time.

Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
