In our lives there are many virtues,
Each one takes us further in our lives.
The friendship of others
Who bring light to our souls,
Lifts us to a new world.
The love of a loved one,
Brings joy to our heart
And takes us into loves wonder.
In my life music pervades me,
As I listen emotions grab me.
The wonder of nature
Creating art and sounds
That are unique each moment.
For these virtues
I am so grateful,
Grateful to be able to realise,
Realise how wonderful they are.
Then I realise something else.
Gratitude is not only the greatest,
The greatest virtue,
But the parent of all others.
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. Cicero
