Poems old and new

I live happily because…

I live happily because…


My gratitude grows,
from year to year it increases.
People help me in various ways.
Where would I be without their grace?

From day-to-day workers
to the top official operators,
from street vendors to the store owners
from family, friends and well-wishers
to all those serving society in numerous ways,

my thankful affection as well includes
those who help me solve or preclude
problems and crises to live in comfort,
balance, reason and healthy thoughts.

Thank you God, for showing thy ways of beatitude,
so I stay positive practising faith and fortitude.
