Practicing Gratitude

Life is tough and hard

and sometimes

It can leave us scarred

Making it difficult to complete the shortest of climbs

Often at such times,

We lose sight

That with the black,

There also exists so much white

I know practicing gratitude

Is easier said than done

Keeping a positive attitude

When far away is the sun

But what harm could it be

In giving it a try

To just find things three

That lighten your life’s sky

Going one day at a time

Until it becomes a norm

It’s of the importance prime

To bring this reform
