                People aren't always aware that they have so much. They forget that they are living a good life maybe not to them but compared to others. We all take things for granted, we all have things we are grateful for and finally there are things that we can all "take in" to change our perspective of things and living of life. People go through life not eve thinking about what it is that thy have , but what they don't have. They never think about what they are grateful for but what possibly more they can get their hands on.
                 There are very few things that I take for granted but the few that I do I'm not proud of. One thing that I have done is not always listen to my family. They will give me advice and ill just make it seem a if I take it into consideration but in reality I'm just going to let it go. There was ne time I was going out to a party and my brother told me to make sure that my friends don't drink and drive. I know that all my friends are always careful with doing what they do so I don't take too much into mind. As my friend leaves me at the party to go get someone else he contacts me letting me know that he almost got into a car accident. I told him to make sure not to be drinking and driving and for the rest of the night everything was all good.

                   There are a lot of things that I am grateful for in this world , my family , thing objects I have, the opportunity to do certain things. Not everyone in this world has family ,nice objects and opportunity's to do things. There are kids around the world that I see on the news saying that they loose their family at a young age. They will grow up and not know who were the real people that brought them into this world. Everyday I look at all the different types of struggles people go through and I take into consideration that I really do need to be more thankful for the things that I get. I take in the fact that people have nearly nothing in some situations and because of that I donate bags of clothes every month or when ever I can to the homeless.

Gratitude

Gratitude is the
only attitude I have
and it makes me sad

that not everyone
has this as a main plan
never the less I

always be the man
no one possibly can
I am who I am

no one sees the lack
lack of people who need that change
but I am here to

make a change
stop the pain that's in the way
making it  better day

  1. Genaro,

    Good post. Great images. See how they upgraded the appearance of your blog? A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

    Good examples of things taken for granted. Family is a big one for many people. You also mention "objects". Be specific. Which of your posessions to you truly prize most?
    Why? Explain.

    Good poem. It's not the little haikus that I had mentioned, but good anyhow. I'd requested that your write along the rules of traditional haiku, with the lines have 5, 7, and then 5 syllables.

    This seems close. I do like how you strung them all together to make a more comprehensive poem - linked together.

    A good improvement. Keep writing more each week. And be sure to get it in on time.
