Gratitude - Jaeson Ma, Joseph Vincent

I’m thankful, thankful for life

Thankful for my health, thankful for my family and my friends

Thankful for the good things in life and thankful even for the bad

Because everything in this life, is a gift and I don’t take it for granted

I don’t understand it all, but I am thankful because everything I’ve been given

Has made me the person I am today and I might not be what I wanna be

But I thank God, I’m not where I use to be

I am thankful for who I am and I don’t want to be anyone else, but myself

I can’t change my circumstances, but I can change my attitude, to one of

gratitude

Thank you for every day you give me, thank you for every opportunity

Cause your my strength when I’m weak and for that I want you to know

That I’m thankful, that I’m thankful

And it’s all because of you, so this is my gratitude to show you

That I’m thankful

Thankful for my mother for raising me up all these years, as a single mom

Thankful for my father, who wasn’t perfect, but I know he tried

Thankful for my brothers and sisters

Who believed in me when no one else would

I’m thankful for my education, thankful for my clothes on my back

Thankful for the food that I eat, I’m thankful that I am alive and breathing

Because you are the reason, I am thankful

I’m thankful for my friends

Who loved me, when I didn’t deserve it

I thank you for listening

Because not everyone in this world is given a fair chance

And for those without a voice I speak for you, I’ve got nothing but gratitude

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change

Courage, to change the things I can, and the wisdom, to know the difference

I am thankful, thankful that you lifted me up, when I was down

I am thankful that you were there for me, when I was sick

I thank you that you comforted me, when I was lonely

That when everyone left me, you were still there", carrying me through

I am thankful for every relationship given

For no person is a failure, if that person has friends

True success is not what you achieve it’s being faithful to your values and

convictions

I love you, you love me.

That is success, and success is having GRATITUDE
