This was just a thought about being grateful for what we/I have. Another small one, of course. :) View table of contents...

Take my sun

And let me fear the darkness

Take these stars

And let me forget their beauty

Take the apple from my eye

And let me weep

Till all I have left

Is gratitude

Hola Nic! I'm back after a long hiatus. Loved this sweet and meaningful poem. Writing short poems is something I could never achieve, no matter how hard I tried... *sighs wistfully*...

I think in such small word-play your give us a HUGE reminder about life!

I am guilty of forgetting to be grateful, but only once in a while and this shouts at me.

Thank you Nixie.

I am guilty of this too, I think I wrote it to remind myself every now and then to look up not down, if it does that for you too (which I hope is a good thing) then I am made up! :) Thank you Classy, made my day! ~ Nixie

Ha, no not so well. I do sing to my own songs but that's only becuase I have to, and I'm not great. I think my creative side makes up for a lot of other things, so don't worry. lol Thanks for a lovely comment Wandiola! :) ~ Nixie

I think we all need to have things taken away from us every now and again to remind us nothing is guarenteed, if we are lucky those things taken away will be returned or replaced.

Wonderful stuff again matey, always a pleasure to read your work.
