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
