Gratitude and Thankfulness

Gratitude and Thankfulness are sisters

They care for their younger sibling Happiness

Happiness is a child of infinite beauty who is forever young.

She lives with suffering around her but, loves her sisters.

For Happiness is not the child of abundance
She does not live in luxury, she has no suitors.

She lives alone with her sisters and for her that is enough.
All the rest is reason to celebrate life.

Sometimes, she is in terminal condition
Struggling to catch her last breath, but still hopeful

Memories of better days
Wishes for others, secure in the love of her family.

Sometimes she has been abused, tortured mentally and physically.
Yet the little bright light glows, today is a beautiful day.

Wake up today, live with Happiness and her sisters.

Good will not triumph over evil, they co-exist in this imperfect world.

Find the child in you and exalt in her innocence

Look around and see the wonder, in the midst of the dark.

We are travelers between the two eternities

Each day alive is a blessing, each breath is life.

See the glory of this Earth.

For if you know Gratitude and Thankfulness

They will introduce you to their sister Happiness.
