Gratitude

Joan C. King

Today I understand dimensions
of gratitude, I never before knew.
You reached out to me,
to support me,
in so many different ways,
a tender gleam in your eyes
revealing compassion,
an offer to help in any way,
walking with me in the canyon,
sending me beautiful thoughts
in cards and gifts,
in all BEING there.

I feel so enriched by
ALL of YOU.

“Thank You”
does not seem to convey
how deeply I have been touched
by your expressions of
loving connection.

I share the words of
John Milton.

“Gratitude bestows reverence,
allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies,
those transcendent moments of awe
that change forever how
we experience life and the world.”

John Milton
