Stop the pity party
You have much to be grateful for
Stop worrying about what others have
Stop wanting so much more.
Be content, show appreciation
Express your gratitude
Don’t take it all for granted
It’s time to change your attitude.
Think about your faucet running
Clean water through your pipes
Access to electricity
You are living the good life.
Cell phones, TV’s and laptops
Movies, video games and more
So many forms of entertainment
So many malls and grocery stores.
It’s enough to make your head spin
Credit cards and ATM’s
Restaurants and cafes
That cater to the latest trends.
But, many don’t have Amazon
No packages coming soon
No Birthday parties for their kids
No gift cards or iTunes.
Americans are considered gluttonous
We are so greedy and unaware.
In other nations , children go without
A pair of shoes or clothes to wear.
So… let go of your resentments
Don’t be consumed with jealousy
Be thankful you have what you need
Be aware of your legacy.
Give thanks for all your blessings
The monumental and the small
Pray for those less fortunate
Have compassion for them all.
