Being grateful

I'm grateful for all the things I've seen,

I'm grateful for all the places I've been,

I'm grateful for all the people I've known,

I'm grateful for all the seeds I've sown,

For those seeds came to life and became trees,

And gave me plump tomatoes for which I'm grateful today.

I'm grateful to have walked on the face of this earth,

I'm grateful to the wonderful woman who gave me birth.

I'm also grateful for all the novels I've read,

Of the marvelous authors and poets long ago dead.

For they've filled my head with infinite tales,

I'm grateful to be born into an era of females.

I'm grateful for all the music that's been composed.

The doors I opened were somehow closed,

But it meant new opportunities for windows to be blown,

Now I can listen to Mozart and Beethoven on my phone.

I'm grateful to have jumped into a pond,

I'm grateful for the connecting bond,

That I've with the cosmos and my kinfolks,

I'm grateful to be a tiny speck of dust in the universe's paradoxical hoax.

So many things I'm grateful for,

But I'm ungrateful for the waging wars.

And the injustices done by humans to fellow mates and their habitats,

It could all stop if we took a moment to appreciate what we already have.
