THE ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
by Daberechi Ubachukwu (Dabz)
Personally I've learnt to be appreciative
Of whatever comes my way no matter how furtive.
So at the end of every single day that I live,
A heavy sigh of gratitude I heave.
For each breath that you take,
For each moment that you're awake,
Gratitude should be your responsibility
To the One who made "you" a possibility.
So don't be spiteful cos you had to leg it to work
But be grateful that you can walk.
Cos those born deaf, blind or even lame
Didn't do anything wrong, so who are they to blame?
And don't get all sassy cos ur boyfriend showed up late,
Cos there is every possibility that he could be 'the late'.
So just welcome him and wipe the sweat off his face,
Assuring him that in your heart he'll always have a place.
No matter how bad you think an experience was,
Always bear in mind that it could have been worse.
The fact that you're able to think back means you're not dead
So why not just shut up, quit complaining and go to bed!
Yesterday is history...
Tomorrow is a mystery...
Today is a gift, that's why its called 'present'.
So if you've seen today, then you were blessed without your consent.
...if He that promised is faithful,
Then why on earth shouldn't you be grateful???
