I am grateful to God for life.
I have passed through the waters
I have crawled through the storm
I persevered the heat of the fire
My bones didn't break when the cold got too bad
I bless the name of Yahweh
I am who I am
Because He is who He is
The past the present the tomorrows
They don't change the glory of His rule
I am grateful for family
Even though I came to the world alone
I also didn't come alone
I had I have I will have people around me
They have my back always
I am grateful for a God who loves me
His kindness has been a cloth for me
It keeps me warm and pretty
His mercies ensures that I can hold my head high
His grace is the reason I wake up every morning
I am grateful for health
Effortlessly I stood up from my bed today
I pass out waste with the aid if a pipe
I eat and it doesn't come back up
My fingers can move on the keyboard
I am grateful today
Not because I am better than anyone else
Neither am I more beautiful than I was yesterday
But I have a brain that can form this words
A heart that is grateful.
