Inspired by Gratitude III
~ by Laurel Regan
for the desire to create
whether through
pencil lines or paintbrush strokes
scratching pen or clicking keyboard
fibres or fabrics, woven and joined
gemstones set in artfully-forged metal
music played, songs sung
a meal prepared with love
flowers arranged with grace
for the gift of imagination
for willingness to share
for eyes and heart and appreciation for
beauty
wonder
creation
thank you
