My Gratitude Diary
by Myra Mukul, Bacchus Marsh Grammar
Finalist, Years 3 – 4, performance poetry
The best type of attitude is the one where you show gratitude!
A beautiful day begins with sunshine and blooms;
Oh, thank you, God, for this day, full of love and happy fumes.
Being grateful is a choice—a choice I must make;
It helps me create positivity and make all sad feelings fake.
Tonight I reflect on my day, to think of what I had to thank;
A long list of things popped up as my negativity slowly sank.
The best type of attitude is the one where you show gratitude!
To my grandparents, my parents, my pet that show me love and care,
I’m lucky to have you by my side—thank you for being there!
To my teachers, my trainers, my mentors who guide me every day,
I thank you for all the work you do to help me find my way!
Thanks to all my awesome friends—we’ll always stick together like glue!
The best time I have in the day is when I am with you!
Before the clock ticks for me to sleep and I put my diary away,
I feel content and happy, and there is one last thing I want to say:
The best type of attitude is the one where you show gratitude!
