In the chill of life’s winter, we feel a frosty dismay,
Not a warmth for the beach, nor a tropical bliss,
Yet with God in our hearts, the son finds its way,
In thankfulness, a single son beam is a radiant kiss.
Gratitude is a beacon of light on the coldest day,
It doesn’t erase challenges, nor make them cease,
Yet it’s like a son beam of hope in a humble display,
and it colours our world with a touch of peace.
It’s the son breaking through the clouds so gray,
Praising in all circumstances is like son light sweet,
A reminder that God’s love will guide our way.
For God’s grace and care is in every heartbeat.
In the face of trials, gratitude is resilience when we pray,
The world may be cold and the path may be tough,
but an attitude of thanksgiving like a divine Son Ray,
helps us see that grace through Jesus the Son, is enough.
Let Gratitude be your Son shine.
