Thanks For This (Poem)
I know that I owed you a thank you post for reaching 1900 followers, and for this reason, I wanted to do it in the form of a poem. Thank you very much to everyone who has been there from the very beginning. You all are my inspiration.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
For all the blessings that are due,
For the sun that rises every day,
For the stars that light up our way,
Leading us to places we never dreamed about.
We don’t always see it, but we are blessed.
Someone,high above, truly care about us.
We are never alone, not even when we ache.
Thank you for the air we breathe,
For the earth beneath our feet,
For the wind playing with our hair,
For the rain that nourishes the land,
For the waves that crash upon the sand.
Thank you for the people we love,
For the love we find along the way.
For the friends we have, and those above,
For the laughter and the joy they bring,
For the memories that forever cling.
Thank you for the moments of grace,
For the times we can’t keep pace,
For the opportunities to grow,
For the books we can read everyday,
For the chances to learn and know,
As there is a lot to learn in the world.
Thank you for the food we eat,
For the warmth and comfort of our seat,
For the clothes we wear, the shelter we find,
For the safety and security we bind.
Thank you for the beauty we see,
For the wonders of nature that set us free,
For the colors of the autumn leaves,
For the magic of a gentle breeze.
Thank you for the gift of life,
For the chances to heal and strife,
For the strength to face each day,
For the hope that lights the way.
Thank you for the love we share,
For the moments that show we care,
For the kindness that’s in our hearts,
That we share with our loved ones,
For the compassion that never parts.
Thank you for the times we laugh,
For the joy that lights our path,
For the humor that brings us close,
For the memories we treasure most.
Thank you for the challenges we face,
For the lessons that we embrace,
For the growth that makes us strong,
For the endurance that carries us along.
For the strength to keep going every day.
Thank you for the peace we feel,
For the calm that helps us heal,
For the rest that makes us whole,
For the serenity that fills the soul.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
For all the blessings that are due,
For the fresh fruit we reap in time,
For the abundance that surrounds,
For the gratitude that abounds.
Thank you for the happy days,
And for these filled with darkness,
For they teach us to value life.
For the love that never strays,
For the hope that always stays,
For the joy that forever plays,
For the change of the seasons,
For the sun that keeps shining.
Thanks for the life we have,
No matter if we often complain.
Thanks for the gifts we get,
Every single day we spend.
Thanks for letting us live,
For we have a chance to shine.
There are many wonders around us,
So much beauty that we can enjoy.
Isn’t it a reason to feel grateful?
Isn’t being alive a blessing itself?
Thanks for the words we write,
For they allow us to make a change,
Thanks for the blood that runs inside us.
The lighthouse shows us the right way.
