The Grateful Boy of St. Mary's

I just came across a personal blog of a gentleman a few years younger than me, talking about the concept of gratefulness: "other people woke up today with no roof over their heads or food in their stomach." In this strange period of lockdowns and uncertainties, other injustices before the outbreak were never really gone. This ugly truth saddens many, and the melancholy of our powerlessness creeps in. But the message of the author inspired me to create this piece that highlights contentment, thankfulness, light, and hope.
