Thank you, WR, for sharing this poem – a great reminder to have an attitude of gratitude which I needed myself, today, especially. If we can all follow your example, we will see a long list of things to feel so good about and grateful for.
Thank you WR. My wife thanks God every morning and evening. She is 74. Her mother was a slave (in South America) and lived with us for the last 20 years of her life. I believe and hope your faith will keep you strong through all the hard stuff — and that you keep writing.
I enjoyed reading this poem because it was extremely relatable to a lot of my future goals too. The rhyme scheme is also interesting to note since “friends” and “sins” were the only words at the end of their respective lines that did not rhyme with each other.
It’s good to see that you’ve managed to maintain faith! Faith can get you through even the toughest times, and can be important in maintaining a sense of community.
I love your poem about your faith. I can feel the love you have for your god, and your gratitude is inspiring!
WR,
I like the repetition of “Thank you!”
The rhyming throughout the poem makes it a good read.
Hi WR ,
I really enjoyed reading your poem. I love that you’re practicing gratitude and thankfulness!
it’s so refreshing to see people so grateful especially in such hard times. With this mindset I am positive that you’ll excel in whatever you want. Please remember that you are enough and you are loved. Keep your head up !
Love,

Everyday I try to write three things that I am grateful for, this poem reminds me of that. Sometimes we don’t always get the things we want and it can be disappointing and we forget what we have right in front of us that should be valued just as much or more. I love that you found something to be grateful for even when sometimes its hard to see it.
It resonates with the profound sense of thankfulness that arises from recognizing the divine guidance, love, and grace that enrich our existence.
The gratefulness in this poem is infectious. Although we may be in quite a struggle, there is always something to be thankful for, and this is important to keep in mind. I admire the positive attitude in this poem, as it can inspire us all to keep pushing onwards. Remembering the connections we have and our health is an often overlooked piece of life, and I really enjoyed reading how positively you see life. I would love to read more!
Mash’Allah this was a great poem that reminded me how much Allah has blessed us with
WR,
Remaining grateful and appreciative of what there is in life is crucial to keeping positive. Surely your commitment to this mindset will allow you to excel in the future and atone for the past.
Hi WR,
I enjoyed the gratitude and how appreciative you are for life. There are many things to be grateful in this world from meaningful relationships and for your wellbeing.
Your rhythm is beautiful! This was so easy to read, it flowed so well. You also create a beautiful sentiment of thankfulness and gratitude. This is a poem that could be read daily just to remember to be thankful in life, I really like it. This is such a healthy and positive mindset to have in life, and I hope it does you well 🙂
I admire such a positive mindset in what some would consider a not-so-ideal circumstance. Positivity and devotion are the keys to a happy and healthy life and you are demonstrating that perfectly. Great Work!
WR, I really enjoyed this poem. I am so glad you have someone to help you out, we have to hold onto those people in our lives for as long as we can. Staying grateful is so important when we are going through hard times. Don’t take anything for granted! I loved your use of repetition and rhyme throughout your poem. It made it fun to read, great job!
Praise to allah is very important. I like the elements of repetition, and highlighting important parts of living that are given by god.
Even though it can be hard to be thankful I think everyone should be a bit more grateful for what they have and it’s great that this poem emphasizes that! I love how positive this poem is, it feels almost infectious.
I really enjoyed this poem because it reminds me to appreciate the good things in life and to have a grateful and positive mindset. Your use of an exclamation mark after the phrase “thank you” in each line shows to me that you aren’t just saying thanks as a formality, but are truly thankful for the blessings in your life. I also like how each line followed a similar sentence structure, starting with “thank you” followed by “for” and then a verb ending in -ing that displays how God has guided you. Beautiful poem!
