Painting the Days with Gratitude
Going deep into gratitude
is wondrous.
Living,
bathing,
becoming gratitude,
is miraculous.
Gratitude colors every day in hues of joy,
jumps to meet each moment with curiousity,
nourishes patience,
melts into love--
love of everything and everyone,
the good, the bad,
the boring, the exciting.
Gratitude paints the world
with wonders and miracles,
come, come, let us wash each moment in gratitude,
a painter's palette of beauty,
we need only lift the brush
and let the colors flow.

I rather like your suggestion, Graham, and I gave it a go. Made the poem flow better, I think. Merci! And thanks Manish for your encouraging words. (Any subsequent readers won't see the original pre-Graham-suggested-edit version; suffice it to say I repeated the word gratitude over and over before each descriptive phrase, which gave the poem a bit of a heavier read.)
