GRATITUDE

I grossly underestimated my crowd
The potency of its clout
And the profligacy of Love allowed
Until voices of Angels rang out loud

My family beyond mother's womb sprawls
Covering the winds, spanning the worlds
In all tongues, colours and races
Of all sizes, heights, shapes and faces

They spoke in verses and in prose
They sang in voices and they wrote
Some on Facebook walls
And some by phone calls

You made my day, filled my heart with joy
Surfeited with bliss my appetite could cloy
Today you gave to me a ballyhoo
And from my heart I say THANK YOU
