Wishing all a happy Thanksgiving! Here’s a poem I wrote with my recent thoughts about gratitude.
Grateful
I am grateful I did not get
The future I thought I wanted.
For who would dare to predict
The countless memories, so haunted?
I am thankful you are here no longer
To observe how brightly I now shine,
How I’ve come back that much stronger
Without the lie that you were mine.
I am blessed to sing and dance with glee,
To laugh again with sparkling eyes,
Surrounded by my friends and family
Infinite as star-filled skies.
I am reassured there is a greater plan,
Even though I must start again,
A life where peace and joy do span.
One where you would never fit in.
