I Am Thankful For

Standing here I begin to take in my worth So much I have achieved to date on this earth My mind drifts back as my face is kissed by a breeze Blessed through life, struggles never being at ease I have my children who are my joy and my pain They have helped me in remaining blissfully sane One marriage, but even if it didn't work out you see I could never be with one who'd not let me be me I'm raising a child and it doesn't matter she not mine I love her unconditionally, as if it was by design Never questioned any of my life's major decisions They've always led me through life's insightful visions I'm always learning I've never done anything 100% right But I've learned from my mistakes it's a never ending fight Grateful for my friends on soup, you've all been so great Each of you with your amazing talent and unique traits I love how we are continually growing you see Each new day we are never who you once use to be Take pride in your struggles they help you to grow So very many lessons in life I've learned, I'll never just plateau So I take inventory of my life, announcing my benediction Spreading words of what I'm grateful for, my story of nonfiction
