Another day, another year
Still full of silence, rage, and fear
When will this end? Will this ever stall?
Is there anything left to be grateful for?
Empty roads, friends apart
Broken hearts, full of scars
When sadness starts taking a toll
Is there anything left to be grateful for?
Sirens wail, distancing a norm
The world is shaken by this storm
When it feels like sky is about to fall
Is there anything left to be grateful for?
But,
I see the birds, I watch the moon
Stars twinkle, flowers bloom
Winds have been hitting my windows
A lot more than they used to do
And,
Food’s still on my plate, family around
Roof on my head, I’m safe and sound
And though it’s tough to stay at home
My distresses are not that profound
Taking such things for granted –
Food, shelter, clothes to wear
It took a pandemic for me to realize
These are actually precious and rare
Credits to the pandemic, I no more wonder
If there’s anything left to be thankful for
For all I know and believe is this-
There’s always something to be grateful for.
