Poem written on : 8/8/2018
Through many trials
Through some regrets
I came to see
A beautiful life
Had it not been for surgeons
Had it not been for pastors
Had it not been for doctors
Had it not been for teachers
Had it not been for my family
Had it not been for friends
Had it not been for managers
Had it not been for you
Who knows where I’d be
What gifts I wouldn’t see
What love I would miss
What joy be absent
What a beautiful life I lead
Though I may miss some worldly success
Had it not been for all of you
I may not have ever succeeded

I love the beauty and positivity of this piece. Too many people these days do not practice the habit of feeling grateful for what we all have and focus too much on the negatives and what they don’t have. This poem reminds us of the need to stop and remember all we have to be grateful for.
