Thankful

For all that I am, and all that I have, I am thankful.
For all that I know, and all that I learn, I am thankful.
For all I can feel, and all I can give, I am thankful.
Life presents challenges, opportunities and choices,
it gives us hope, and sorrow and beautiful voices,
music and light, vision and shadow,
faith and regret, today and tomorrow...
For all I have been, and all I will be,
for all of the journey's, that have led me to me...I am thankful.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet 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." Be blessed.
