Thankful

Even though as I sit here and things aren't so tranquil.
I still have many reasons for which to be thankful.
I'm thankful for being able to get up in the morning.
I'm thankful for even the things that leave me in mourning.
I'm thankful for having a job and being able to save money.
I'm thankful for being able to have all these troubles and still be funny.
I'm thankful for having friends and family who love and support me.
I'm thankful for gods will giving me the chance to make me stronger.
And I'll be so thankful when I won't have to deal with live this way any longer.
Life is full of choices for it is up to you to choose.
It's always up to you whether you win or lose.

Beautiful touching poem, Joseph. No matter how bad things get there's always something to be thankful for. Even if it's something as simple as being thankful your favorite team won.
