Being Thankful

You have to live everyday to the fullest,
You don’t know when,
When it is going to be taken away.
You don’t know when your time is,
Time to leave is.
It can be any day,
Or it can be a long time from now.
You have to be thankful,
Thankful for everything,
Everything you have,
All of your family,
Because your family can be taken from you,
So fast,
And so abrupt.
Be thankful for,
Your friends,
Your pets,
Your siblings, 
Even if you do not like,
Them very much right now,
Imagine a day,
A week,
And years without them.
You need to be thankful, 
For everyday that you have here,
Here on Earth.
