The things I take for granted

I am grateful 

For the feeling of joy 

The feeling of peace 

Of happiness 

I am grateful for 

My little sister's cheery face 

My friend's laughter 

My parents' words of wisdom 

My sibling's ideas 

I am grateful for 

The sky 

That stretches above us 

All blue and beautiful 

I am grateful for the stars 

Sprinkled in the sky 

Glittery 

Shining 

Wish upon one 

I am grateful for 

All the things 

I take for granted 

I am grateful 

That I can recognize 

The things I take for granted
