A Little Bird Told Me

I built a little houseFor a little birdHe thanks me every yearWithout saying a wordHe sings a pretty songAccompanied by his mateThey watch out for each otherAnd their fine estateI don’t charge them rentThey live there Scott FreeThey pay me in songA beautiful gift indeed

The Power of Gratitude

More than everI’m findingThe power of gratitudeIs the right attitudeI’m an ex-cynicWith acerbic witMy fists were clenched(I wasn’t a mensch)Love truly conquers allIt makes the bullies fallThey can’t break your wallThey can’t get your gallThe unbearable Lightness of beingCan only happenWith laughterThe face works hardTo make a frownSmile insteadBreak angst downAbove allGive daily thanksGratitude is PowerfulYou can take that to the bank

On This Thanksgiving Eve
