Gratitude

I welcome my life with joy.
Even illness and pain.
Even thin bones and chill, cold rain.

I give thanks for my beautiful boy.
All the frustration and all the love,
The occasional sunny skies above.

I open and recieve it all.
Joy and pain flow through me
leaving blessings and wisdom inside me.

Relax this body, relax this mind.
Let it fall silent to the ground.
Amongst winter leaves and earth let your self be found.
