Writing True

By Being Grateful

AinaBalagtas

How do you express your gratitude?

“Be anxious of nothing.

Be peaceful with everything.

Be angry of no one.

Be happy with loved ones.

Be pessimistic of none.

Be optimistic with what’s done.

Be ungrateful of no way.

Be appreciative all the way.

Be thankless of not a single day.

Be thankful everyday.

For being thankful,

Is seeing the Sun even before dawn:

That ardent debonair,

A mister that sneaks not in window pane,

But in our heads,

Romancing thoughts,

Seducing brain

Lingering in mind,

As it teases day and night.

In spirit with tomorrow and today. . .”
