Giving Thanks

Thank you for creating me - and bestowing me with life. Thank you for what I've learned - from struggles and strife. Thank you for my health - and a phenoniminal family! Thank you for my moral compass - and my true Spirituality! Thank you for the food I have - and a wonderful home. Thank you for my friends - from them not to roam. Thank you for my furry family members - who give me unconditional love! Thank you for sending them to me - from your home up above! Thank you for all the knowledge - that you have given me. Thank you for strong legs - criminals for to flee. Thank you for all the little things - that most people cast aside. Thank you for the ability to choose - just being able to decide. Thank you for the Moon and Stars - when falls the night. Thank you for guiding me - on the path that leads to right! Thank you for the Sun and Sky - when we reach another day. Thank you for your courage - to face what comes us may! Footnote: A very Special Thank You goes to all the people that give me encouragement and support in my poetry endeavors, all those who read my poems and who give such uplifting comments. To all these people - past, present, and future: My Sincerest and Humblest - THANK YOU!!! :) Footnote #2: Thanksgiving is about showing or giving thanks for all that you are blessed with so I deemed this poem as qualifying for your contest.
