Gratitude


Some days, the gratitude is overwhelming: 
For the return of spring and sunlight; 
For the mountains and the sea; 
For all those who went before us, 
Building lighthouses to protect us, 
And manning them in the dark and storms; 
For the grass and sand beneath my feet, 
The friends who join us on this walk, 
And the raucous cries of the gulls — 
Breathe deep and drink the salted air 
Of gratefulness.
