In gratitude
Miserly in gratitude
We continue the feud
With the precious present
It can’t be more pleasant
The miserly won’t accept
They continue to expect
From the present, a return
While gratitude waits its turn
Living in gratitude
Changes our attitude
We embrace the present
Where there’s nothing to resent
When the mind treads softly
Gratitude isn’t costly
Ultimately we benefit
With life, we are a better fit
