"Thank You's"
Every day be thankful for what you have and who you are.
Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm
rings, I give thanks that I can hear. There are many who
are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light
as long as possible, I give thanks that I can see.
Many are blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, I give
thanks that I have the strength to rise. There are many
who are bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks
are lost, toast is burned and tempers are short, my children
are so loud, I give thanks for my family. There are many who
are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures
in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced, I give
thanks for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.
Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous, I give
thanks for the opportunity to work. There are many who have
no job.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day
and wish my circumstances were not so modest, I give thanks
for life.
