Thanksgiving
I am thankful for what
I have and what I do
not have, seeing the trials
and tribulations of those
less fortunate --
thankful for shadows as
well as brilliance,
humanity often lost in the opulent
glare
thankful for the weight
of poverty, my soul bears
asking not to be kept
from hunger and thirst
that brings me nearer to
Thee – trusting always that
You will provide, whatever
my spirit needs to soar with
Graces – Blessings to all!
