My Days of Gratitude - Day 1

to live another birthday 

June 27
The day I turned 28

my life was moving at such rate

that makes me feel very much lightweight,

with a hint of a clean slate

when all storm is to abate.

The day I turned 28

I started to count my absentee rate.

In life in labor in my sparring mate.

Now It’s time to circumnavigate

to succumb and fully participate 

to always be au fait

and start filling up life’s photographic plate

no more just lying in wait

The day I turned 28

I remember to thank my line of fate

for bearing me no hate;

my mind my life being in such wonderful state

The day I turned 28

it just felt so great

as I am alive and awake

and I am not done living in fete

Inspired by a friend's "365 days of gratitude", I am starting one too! It’s too easy to take blessings for granted, especially those too common that we tend to forget, hence it is forgotten.

Here's to years of happiness, good health, good life and everything great *cheers
