Embrace the Moment

by jusylee72

Gratitude expressed in a poem Contest Winner 

Which day of your life would you change?

The day your heart was first broken?

The day you were criticized by your boss?

The day you made a bad decision?

The day the death of a loved one changed you?

The day your trust in truth was destroyed?

No, I would not change a minute.

For without a broken heart, I can never feel the depth of true devotion.

Without criticism, I can never become the teacher I want to be.

Without mistakes, I can never appreciate my strengths.

Without death, I would never treasure the gift of life.

Without betrayal, I would never understand when true loyalty wraps me in comfort and protects me.

Moments are meant to measure, make you and move you into the miracle called your life.

Embrace the gift of today.
