Shades of Gratitude, by Julie Potiker
Gratitude may feel bouncyLike a big rubber ballGratitude may feel floatyLike the leaves in the fallGratitude may feel sweetLike a babies little feetGratitude may feel neatLike a perfectly wrapped treatGratitude may feel sadLike the end of the storyGratitude may feel lowLike you can’t feel the gloryGratitude may be a yearningFor a time that’s now lostGratitude may leave you burningFor the bridge you did not crossGratitude can shine a lightOn the choice you did makeFor those days that are lemonsAs you make lemonadeSo good for youAs you walk this roadSteering your attitudeTowards gratitudeTo lighten your load
