Gratitude - Lilith Rogers

[Larry Robinson]

Gratitude

I often think I’m good
at gratitude.
Say “thank you”
to the Goddess for divine right timing
when I’m down at the sea 
and I 
look up at the sky 
at just the right moment to see 
that big brown pelican 
glide gracefully over me.

Or take that first bite 
out of a fresh picked red apple 
let the juice roll around in my mouth 
and thank the tree 
for giving it to me.

Me, me, me
yes, my gratitude 
is all about me
and all the gifts 
I joyfully receive.
