Thankful
I am thankful to be alive
With every breath taken with desire and drive
I am thankful for the food that I have received and prepared in my pan
For at least I do not have to eat out of a dog food or trash can
I am thankful that I am not having to live in a cardboard box or a tent
Because of not being able to pay the mortgage or rent
I am thankful for my family that warm my heart
All would be lost without them for I would surely fall apart
I am thankful for my friends
That enhance my life and keep me up to date with the latest trends
I am thankful for love
For the ability to give and receive whether worthy or unworthy of
I am thankful for nature’s magnificence
From velveteen rose petals dripping dew to rolling hills of glistening green lavishness
