Widen your eyes
to reveal the disguise
that blinds the beauty before you.

Broaden your purview
so you can accurately view
all the wonders in and around you.

Clean out your ears
and mop up the tears
that obscure the glories you glide through.

Abandon quiescence and march through the door.
Pledge to develop and improve from afore.
Get up and discover what's there to adore.

Too often we're complacent,
becoming a complainant,
unappreciative and impatient.

Count your blessings one by one.
Apprise them all 'til your tally's done.

Methodically peruse your list once more
to ensure you've got a truly accurate score.

Adopt a lasting attitude
where you espouse true gratitude
without room for any latitude.
