SONNET CHAIN
        9^TH SONNET GRATITUDE
Think of the good around you that you see
And how it blesses you with tender care.
Blessings pouring like water, set you free,
To not show our thanks we would never dare.
Gratitude is a testing ground of worth,
Our worth of the gifts given to us so free,
For there is nothing around on this earth
As sad as a heart that ungrateful be.
So thank a friend for being kind and true,
Thank a God above for each gift received ,
Be grateful for someone’s sweet love for you
This way not one heart will ever be grieved
        By your ungrateful attitude to life
        And so save yourself and others much strife.
