Grateful

Grateful 
Gratitude fills my heart, and I feel so humbled. 
My arms wrap around your neck as tears fill my eyes.
Even if we're not together, this image holds.
You mean the world to me. "I'm grateful," my heart sighs.

Would that selfish hordes be as grateful as I.
Then hatred would expire and love would invade.
With hearts full of gratitude, our smiles would shine.
Our world would find peace and joy, and love would pervade.
