Notes About The Poem

thanks

Listen to poem:

I am Thankful for

Being alive and conscious in an infinite dead universe.
To see, feel, hear, taste and dwell on each momentary verse.
To be interwoven and entwined with loved ones of mine,
as I awaken to each new day with and hope and joy to align.
To revel in the beauty of nature and all form of life.
To avoid the strife of wars, religion, race that's rife,
Here where conflict, hate and fights defy the gratefulness
we all should share and enjoy with abounding thankfulness,
while being alive, kicking and breathing with all our might,
awaiting our good night plight in the cold dead of night.
