Poem

Complaining to thanking

Instead of focusing
On the negative things around
Just turn your head
On things that you have

Instead, be grateful
For the blessings you receive
Remember His goodness
Never forget His great love

Magnify the good things
Look at better things
Smile and always have reasons
To content in His love

Receive the love of God
Receive His goodness
So that you will be filled
With satisfaction inside

The world’s temporary things
May give you slight satisfaction
But it can never make you
Whole and fully satisfied

Instead of the world’s riches
Why not grow closer to God
He will give you treasures
Pure joy and genuine treasure

You are already surrounded
With all blessings you need
You cannot appreciate them
If your eyes are set on something else

Try not to compare yourself
And you’ll overcome disappointment
Just stay grateful for everything
And know that you are blessed

Ask for the good things
Give thanks for what is given
Some gifts aren’t wrapped
The way you want them
