Gratitude
#Gratitude
by Seah Greenhorn
(Poem with copyright)
Do we
measure
Genuine
#Thankfulness ...
by the
warm smile,
which reaches the eyes,
by the comforting
strong hug
with a bit of shoulder
and/or
back rub,
by the delighted
squeal
that pierces the ears,
yet
brightens the face,
or the sudden
tears
followed by
the bowed head
in a gesture
of humble #grace,
by
Speechlessness,
that we
Hear
Loud and Clear
or a nose-blowing,
gut-wrenching,
sniffling,
hiccupping
Ugly cry--
Appealing
to the heart,
and ever
far-reaching
Into our
#Glorious
Sky?
Or
how about
an arm-pumping
bone-crunching
hand-breaking
shake,
a blush,
a bloom,
a
Sudden
drop
to the knees,
or flight
and exit
to an adjoining
room?
Do we
measure
Gratitude
by
#Reciprocated
Sharing
of something
to ourselves--
the giver
or them
passing along
a gift--
their giving
to
unsuspecting
others
to make them
feel cheerer?
Is Gratitude
an
Expressed
Remembering
and
Constant
Reliving?
A
Forgiving?
An audible/inaudible
Prayer
of
Thanksgiving?
How
Does
Our Creator
Measure
Our
Gratitude,
Our
Thankfulness
for
Living?
