What Destroys Gratitude (Poem)

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

What destroys gratitude?
What poisons attitude?
What weakens lattitude-
of the smile on your face?
Is it something with grace?
What tears you from that place-
of Happiness and Joy?
Will you let it annoy?
And constantly destroy?
But that's what happens when-
you're not content... and then...
It's a problem. Amen?!
Don't let it seep inside,
and in your heart abide.
Discontentment won't hide...
It grumbles out indeed.
Your joy it will impede.
It won't let you suceed-
Until you tell it, No!
Give it an ultimo!
Tell it to pack and go!
Then gratitude returns-
when the other adjourns-
Then discontentment learns...
It's not welcome with you,
and you know what to do,
to have some joy anew!
