One day I realized
It was ok for me to reveal
All that I was grateful for
To share how I feel

I had never really been one
To grumble bitch and complain
You'd never know my inward heart
Or know what was on my brain

I hid the inward pleasure
Behind my jokes and funny grins
And stored the joy of discoveries
And hid it from my friends

The they way they pictured me
Seemed important to me then
I didn't want to appear less weak
Than the other men

It opened doors into my soul
Places I didn't know were there
Learning to express my gratitude
In finding ways to share

Being grateful has carried me
Through years of trial and pain
Seeing the good in many things
It started my life again

Its what I have been granted.
