Thoughts from a Gratitude Journal

So much seems trivial
studying the sun-kissed tulip
blossoming in the clear glass jar
at my bedside:
be beautiful
stretch toward the light.

Share My Poems

These poems are meant to be shared with your family and friends. By all means, e-mail them to friends, use them in the classroom, read them to your dog --just credit my full name, and please tell me you've done so. I'd love to see how they're being used. And if you like more than one, please buy my collection. Half the proceeds go to Unicef. The other part helps pay my mortgage. If you are a publisher of any kind of online or print publication, I can sell second rights to the poems and photos (except for a handful they have already been published in various anthologies and in my collection, WTBG). Please contact me at writer@hgrace.com for more information. Cheers, Heather
