Gratitude, Grown Gently

🌿 Gratitude, Grown Gently

Author: Kelly-Jo Farner

Kelly’s Literary Haven

I thank the wind for whispering truth,

The trees for holding ancient youth.

I thank the ache that taught me grace,

The quiet hands, the healing space.

I thank the stars for staying near,

The tears that fell, the ones I fear.

I thank the breath I didn’t waste,

The love I found, the time I faced.

Gratitude is not just light—

It’s roots that hold me through the night.

🌱 Reflection Prompt: Rooted in Gratitude

After reading the poem and sitting with the image of glowing roots anchoring a tree in darkness, take a quiet moment to reflect:

What holds you steady when life feels uncertain?

Think of the people, memories, or inner truths that have helped you grow through hardship.

Write down one thing you’re grateful for that isn’t loud or obvious — something quiet, like a breath, a glance, or a moment of grace.

Then ask yourself:

How can I nurture that root today?

Whether through rest, connection, or creativity, let your gratitude guide a small act of care — for yourself or someone else.
