Mark Russell Poet I do not know?

I'M So Thankful

I’m so thankful today just to wake up
To step up to the plate and drink from life’s cup
So many things I have just taken for granted
That all of my opinions became rather slanted.


I’m so thankful for all the new friends I have met
I stand at the threshold I am not through the door yet
They make me smile and my heart craves more
I seem much like a bird as I start to soar.

I’m so thankful I just made it to here
There is much uncertainty things that aren’t clear
I see I no longer have to live with my fears
Thousands of smiles replace thousands of tears.

I’m so thankful today yet I wonder what’s in store
Maybe the answers behind door number four
Or perhaps I might have to just wait
While destiny collides with what is my fate.

I’m so thankful for yet another chance
I missed so many things upon the first glance
I think that if I just use my heart to see
I’ll be thankful today for all that may be.

Doris Culverhouse July 19, 2011 at 5:36 AM great rhyming poem!! thankful is so much more atractive than grumbling any day!! Mark Russell July 19, 2011 at 1:32 PM Thank you so much a little goes a long way. I've lived both side of the fence win and lose and still somehow it's clouds illusions I recall, I really don't know clouds at all > I think JUdy Collind wrote that it was just in my head and seemed to fit:) Take care and have a great day Mark
