Gratefulness

Gratitude and gratitude,
Only gratitude for the many blessings
Received for the last four years in Canada.
It was today, on Sept 21, 2014, that I put my first step in Canada.
It was the feast of St. Matthew, the Evangelist!
Today, my heart is but grateful for all the experiences.

Fearful and reluctant were first few days, weeks, and months.
I knew no one and had to figure things out by myself.
Many came as angels to help me through my studies and life in general.
I came into contact with so many good people.
Today, my heart is but grateful for all the experiences.

I was confident that everything would be fine by the grace of God.
I plunged deep into the unknown culture and tradition.
Learned many new things through interactions,
And through visits to various places, including 10 provinces of Canada.
Today, my heart is but grateful for all the experiences.
