Gratitude (A Special Birthday Poem)

Last week, I published my first poem (We Are) and the response was hugely positive and encouraging, which left me elated.

Also, last week (Thursday, this time around) I was at a youth vigil and I received the inspiration to type (again) on my phone two poems. This is the first.

GRATITUDE

God gave

Mom screamed

Dad smiled

I cried

Heaven rejoiced

Bayo stared

Granpa named

Mom trained

Dad Paid

Teachers taught

Photos framed

Dami followed

Sin came

Plans changed

Jide left

Jesus saved

Grace returned

Life restored

What day?

Everyday!

*Bayo and Jide are my elder brothers, while Dami is my younger brother.

Thank you for visiting once again, and God bless you.

PS: Today's my birthday and I feel specially blessed to add another year.
