Everything is great
Eyes that see
Mouth that talk
Below my knee
Legs that walk
Brain that thinks
Heart that feels
With every hurt
Wounds that heal
Bed to sleep
Food to eat
Great shirts to wear
And shoes that fit
Parents who care
Friends to share
Teachers that lead
And pets waiting to be fed
So, when you stop
And start to ponder
Everything is feeling
Like a bother
Look around and appreciate
Everything that is going great.
This is another creative writing exercise I'm doing for my college course. This one's quite fun because everyone in the class get to write different topics and see how others write on their topic. Here's the prompt I got:
GRATITUDE: Write a poem or journal entry that is all about things you are thankful for.
