* Some Times

Sometimes I am not thankful for the
things I have and think I need more.

Sometimes I am not grateful enough
for the people and things I have,

Sometimes I take things for granted,
and think they are my right to have them.

Sometimes, I forget to say I love you to,
the ones in my life that mean so much.

Sometimes, I speak badly about people,
and forget that they have feelings  too.

Sometimes, I get mad because someone,
cuts in front of me at the grocery store.

Sometimes, I pass by those who have their,
hands out and asking for money for food.

Sometimes, I forget the real reason why I,
was put on this earth and treat people badly.

Sometimes, I forget about God and that he,
is the reason I am here and never thank him.

Sometimes, I take friends for granted and always
expect them to be there for me but not for them.

Sometimes, I forget to smile and tell others to
have a good day and be helpful to them.

So I am going to try and change my sometimes,
to 'Doing' the things I sometimes forget to do.

I'm teary eyed on this one. Rhonda, you are not only the keeper of animals in need. But you are the keeper of wisdom and love for souls in need as well. God bless you, my friend. My heart knows you and your goodness. And I am glad that I have been blessed to feel your love. Thank you, friend. Love, Dane Ann

We all forget to be thankful sometimes. You have presented it in a very special way. Keep the magical pen flowing. Sara
