We moan and groan all through the day,
Giving no thought to what we throw away,
We whine and complain about little things,
And ignore all the beautiful gifts life brings,
Think of the people lost out there,
Who have no food, no home and nothing to share,
Imagine how they must feel,
imagine not knowing when you'll get your next meal,
So if you find yourself ever feeling down, or upset,
Think of all those who are constantly beset
By thoughts of where they will sleep tonight,
Or who are the ones they should hide from in fright
You are lucky.
Be grateful.
