Be Grateful
**********

Sometimes,
We are too busy,
To even look around,
And ask ourselves,
Where do all the mountains come from?
Instead,
We complain of the hot weather,
The thorns on the trees,
We never did realise,
That they are actually a blessing.
For God made them,
Especially for Mankind,
To be appreciated,
To be used,
As food and shelter.
All we ever do is complain,
Never did exclaim,
What a beautiful world this is!
We quarrel with our loved ones,
Never realising,
That some people,
Don't even have one person to love,
We complain about annoying siblings,
Without realising,
That some have been abandoned by their families,
We complain about irritating teachers,
Without realising,
That some are longing to go to school,
So,
The message here is,
Be grateful for what you have.

Grace
