Thanksgiving

I am thankful for my life.
I am thankful for each day I arise,
knowing that God has let me live again...
even on days that I do not want to.

I am thankful for my family.
Though I live hundreds of miles away,
I know that their love transcends
the distance that seperates us.

I am thankful for my home.
Even though I have to share it with
some people that I don't care for...
it sure beats living on the streets.

I am thankful for my friends.
Even though they can be pains in the butt,
I know they watch out for me each day,
and so I do with them, without reservation.

I am thankful for my sweetie.
Though she is not here to celebrate with me,
I know our love for each other is special...
a reason for thanks, if there is no other.

I am thankful for my faith.
My beliefs are a comfort when there is none,
soothing away the pains that plague my soul
when there is no other way to subdue them.


On Thursday, we spend a day to give thanks.
In reality, this should happen ever day.
Be it alone, or with your family and friends...
you have plenty of reasons to be thankful.
