Wear gratitude like a cloak, and it will feed every corner of your life.
—Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi

wrap yourself in it
a kind of liquid sunshine
we all can be grateful
for the air we breathe
the flush of dawn
slant rays at dusk

drape gratitude around
your friends’ shoulders
give freely to children,
partner, pets and those
you don’t yet know
why not? it’s free
