Gratitude
 
Be grateful for the kindly friends that walk along your way;
     Be grateful for the skies of blue that smile from day to day;
Be grateful for the health you own, the work you find to do,
     For round about you there are men less fortunate than you.
 
Be grateful for the growing trees, the roses soon to bloom,
     The tenderness of kindly hearts that shared your days of gloom;
Be grateful for the morning dew, the grass beneath your feet,
     The soft caresses of your babes and all their laughter sweet.
 
Acquire the grateful habit, learn to see how blest you are,
     How much there is to gladden life, how little life to mar!
And what if rain shall fall today and you with grief are sad;
     Be grateful that you can recall the joys that you have had.
 
by Edgar A. Guest
 

Edgar Albert ‘Eddie’ Guest was born on 20 August 1881 in Birmingham, England. He immigrated with his family to the United States of America in 1891. From his first published work in the “Detroit Free Press” until his passing in 1959, he penned some 11,000 poems that were syndicated in 300 newspapers and collected into more than twenty books. Mr. Guest is reputed to have had a new poem published in a newspaper every day for more than thirty years. He became known as ‘The People’s Poet,’ writing poems that were of a sentimental and optimistic nature. Edgar Albert ‘Eddie’ Guest passed on at 77 years of age on 5 August 1959 in Detroit, Michigan, United States of America.

Before anything else, I want to thank Mr. Guest for writing this piece. I want him to know that it was heartfelt and the message has touched my heart. There is a need to be grateful all the time, Regardless if the blessing is big or small, what should matter is the idea of being thankful to everything that you receive because blessing is a blessing in the first place! Most of the time, we are thankful because of the material things we received without realizing that the gift of life is the most precious thing of all!
