I Am Thankful For

Being alive to see the next day Allows for people to look my way They see a soul with gall and sway But there are a few things I'd like to say My viewpoint on life is somewhat unusual I look to the ground for an explanation of the usual A wish to understand the growing of the land And lend my very own naively led hand I tend to the growing white orchids, still young I marvel as they use the Sun as their lung To witness it long before it withers It gives me a gratitude that perpetually quivers.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your Thanksgiving thoughts through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
