I AM
THANKFUL FOR THE TEENAGER WHO IS
NOT DOING DISHES BUT IS WATCHING T.V.,
BECAUSE THAT MEANS HE/SHE
IS AT HOME AND NOT
ON THE STREETS.
FOR
THE TAXES THAT I PAY,
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT
I AM EMPLOYED.
FOR
THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY,
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT
I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.
FOR
THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG,
BECAUSE IT MEANS I
HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.
FOR
MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK,
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM
OUT IN THE SUNSHINE.
FOR A
LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING, WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND
GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING,
BECAUSE IT MEANS I
HAVE A HOME.
FOR
ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT,
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT
WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
FOR
THE PARKING SPOT I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING
LOT,
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM
CAPABLE OF WALKING AND THAT I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH
TRANSPORTATION.
FOR
MY HUGE HEATING BILL,
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM
WARM.
FOR
THE LADY BEHIND ME THAT SINGS OFF KEY,
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT
I CAN HEAR.
FOR
THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING,
BECAUSE IT MEANS I
HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.
FOR
WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE DAY,
BECAUSE IT MEANS I
HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.
FOR
THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS,
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT
I AM ALIVE.
FOR
THE PHONE CALLS THAT INTERRUPT MY DAY,
BECAUSE IT MEANS I
HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF ME.
AND
MOST OF ALL....I AM THANKFUL FOR GOD,
FOR HE
HAS GIVEN ME ALL THIS....AND MORE
