Giving Thanks

As I wake
Open my blinds
Let light
Replace the darkness
That was occupying my room
Today
It’s Thanksgiving
Thinking of all the thanks
What I’m thankful for
As I look out
Upon this dreary day
Making out
What could I possibly say
Without any doubt
This is the way
I truly feel
Happy Thanksgiving
To myself
I’m thankful for……
Still able to breathe
Stand up on my two feet
And feel the wooden floor
Underneath me
I’m thankful for……
My parents
I can spend time with
My mother
No longer cooking feasts
But dinner
Like I was fifteen again
My father
His health is declining
But I’m proud
I can still talk
Laugh
And listen to him
I’m thankful for……
My friends
Just a handful of them
I keep my circle small
Because
I don’t have enough feelings
To cover them all
And without them
I would never leave my house
At all
I’m thankful for……
Believing in a higher power
There’s a God
That created everything
Including me
I’m thankful for……
Knowing that
I have a woman
Who cares
Love me for who I am
Accepts my faults
And the things I don’t know
She’s my Bestie
I love her
So much that
I agreed
To go skydiving
With her
No that’s
One thousand percent love
♥️
And lastly
I’m thankful for……
Being able to live
Learn
And see new places
In a world that
Has a lot going on
Trying to stay safe
Make my bed
And pray
And even make a wish
11:11
Each night
For more better days
To come
Giving Thanks
