there once was a girl named stacey
who was prone to be cautious and lazy
her divine promptings stored
leaving her frustrated and bored
til the day she found something amazing.
gratitude.
this word she had heard many times in her life
though little attention was paid.
then one night she experienced a light
proving her life path divinely paved.
it began with a question, sincere and profound
'what is the gratitude symbol?'
before her lips finished forming the sounds
her answer proved quite simple.
her pen was moving across the paper proving
she knew without knowing she knew.
before her eyes gratitude was artfully grooving
forming the symbol her perfect heart drew.
for weeks this same enigmatic configuration
has been popping up in all her art.
acccepting at once the divine confirmation
it was time for her Love Work to start.
from that moment on her attentions were drawn
to a multitude of gifts and suprises.
these promptings beckoned serendipity on
and washed her clean of her vices.
no longer prone to procrastination's call
she found joy and passion abound.
now everywhere, whether large or small
signs of living gratitude were found.
'follow this path, for it leads to YOU'
her pure heart championed each day.
'share this gift so others may too
remember gratitude is the Way.'
for giving is living in loving time
through presently offered service.
extending beyond the self sublime
allowing heaven to cover earth's surface.
'i am centered in gratitude', this is true.
whether by spelling, choice or change.
by living and giving in gratitude
all possibilities are presently arranged.
