Heavenly sun wanes,
Applauded by dusk’s silence…
Ovation of gods!
Cherished by the lowliest,
Taken for granted by man.
~
Without any thought,
We reap her fruitful bounty
With veracity.
~
An ungrateful child
Would offer her greater thanks…
Yet we laud her not.
Perhaps it’s human nature
Or maybe we’re simply fools.

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
In times of crisis
Forgetting to be thankful
Is easy to do
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A simple thank you…
Gratitude shown with two words.
Does the thought pain you?
Do you find it a weakness
To show appreciation?
You would be most wrong!
Be thankful for all you have
Each and every day.
Only good can come of this
And you’ll be better for it
…In the End.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A single flame burns
Brightly under Christmas sky
Hope springs eternal
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Rocky crags–purple
Reaching for sky, razor-sharp
Just to touch heaven
Reunion with the Creator
Perfection being thankful
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Fluttering open
Struggling to clear the haze
Another morning
What will this new day behold
Everything as intended
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Through a sleepless night
Filled with abundant chaos
I arise thankful
Accepting this rocky road
As a temporary turn
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
It’s not the shopping
The shiny black Friday deals
Material wants
Created by corporate greed
For the bloating of coffers
It’s for gratitude
Communion with ones you love
Appreciation
Sadly we tend to forget
With every new commercial
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Without gratitude
Expecting seems like folly
Disastrous mix
One day they will awaken
And all they had will be gone
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Do we expect the Divine to give without us giving back?
Do we expect to receive all the good this world has to offer without offering it back?
Life is not a one way street of take, take, take.
We are here to give unto others with no expectation of repayment.
This is what living is all about.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
