I walked the path of gratitude today
thanking the trees for purifying the air
and giving creatures a place to dwell
a cardinal sang from a high limb, as the
robins searched for worms to eat
I walked the path of gratitude today
thankful for the gift of precious water
for water is life, food and home to
creatures that call streams, lakes,
rivers and oceans their home
I walked the path of gratitude today
thankful for the flowers that are now
blooming, they bring vivid color into
our lives and give us a sense of calmness
I walked the path of gratitude today
thankful, for this big beautiful planet
and all its splendor and natural wonders
open your eyes and feast on her beauty
I walked the path of gratitude today
on a cold April day with the wind against
my back pushing me forward as hail
suddenly fell from the sky, I let out
a sigh, "climate change"
how do we reset the planet?

for Earth Day
author's note: I went for a walk today
and it started out sunny but, the wind
shifted and clouds rolled in. I found myself
with the wind pushing me forward in a sudden
hail storm.
Amazing to have hail in April.i have walked the path of gratitude too. It's the most beautiful path of all.
ReplyDeleteWe have been on a roller coaster with temperatures here. One day high 60’s / 70’s then the next day 30 with snow flurries and yesterday hail pelting me on my walk.
DeleteA beautiful walk of gratitude and April has brought hail and snow to us too
ReplyDeleteIt’s been a crazy start of spring.
DeleteThey call it global warming but we've sure been colder than normal here.
ReplyDeleteI agree, yesterday was the 2nd coldest day on records for April 22nd. I am ready for warmer
