Thanksgiving Blessings

On the eve of Thanksgiving, I want to give thanks for another year More time spent with my family, More love, less fear. Rekindled friendships, true love renewed Challenges, laughter, triumphs, success imbued. I spent the first part of the year recovering, yet still alive The unthinkable, I have survived. I’ve been tossed, turned and thrown upside down Set upon an unforgiving sea, but did not drown. In an instant it can all change, it happens so fast What you think matters really doesn’t There’s no point in holding onto the past . I’ve been broken and healed and broken again The endless cycle never seems to end. With each breakage, I rise strong and tall Learning a new normal, Diving in, entranced, bated breath, I draw.
