I Have Much To Be Thankful For

The sun comes up and the sky is so blue. Still, I’m uncertain of what it is I should do. I awake to realize I have much to be thankful for. I open my eyes and my heart for what is in store. Some days I get lost and don’t know what to go. Sometimes it feels like any way the wind blows. I seem to do better with the friends that care. They make me see that they shall always be there. When I get sad and feel quite alone, They offer my heart a place to call home. Though I feel lost I seem to get better. Like when the rain falls, I only get wetter. I usually have troubles with this time of year. I remember the people that I hold so dear. Last night I received a call and had to smile. Today I shall rest and take care for a while. I don’t always understand why I do what I do. I just follow my heart and these feelings are true. I hope for things to get better and look for a source. I just need to find a way to get back on course.
