Gratitude in Disguise

people need to feel how blessed they are
not by counting what they have
but by witnessing what others don’t

they need to see the pain in someone’s eyes
to thank their own tears for drying

they need to see empty bowls on hungry laps
to taste the warmth in their daily bread

they need to see cruelty unfold in silence
to cherish the voice that speaks with softness

they wait for tragedy
to learn gratitude
for a peace they ignored

how strange it is
that we must walk through shadows
just to love the light
