“Giving Thanks”
I’m thankful for those who supported and loved me…
You helped me grow.
I’m thankful for those who hurt me and abandoned me…
You, too, helped me grow.
I’m thankful for all of my successes and triumphs…
They helped me grow.
I’m thankful for all of my failures and defeats…
They, too, helped me grow.
I’m thankful for all of the people that I have been able to love and support…
I hope that I helped you grow.
I’m thankful for all of the people that I may have abandoned or hurt…
I hope that I also helped you grow.
I’m thankful for the pleasure…
I’m thankful for the pain…
I’m thankful for the sunshine…
I’m thankful for the rain…
After all, both are needed to grow…
I’m thankful for adventure,
And all that stays the same.
I’m thankful for the lost,
And thankful for the gained.
So giving thanks definitely ranks,
Amongst the things for which I’m thankful.
If gratitude were just a drop,
My words could fill a fifty gallon tankful,
If gratitude were just a drop,
My heart may contain an ocean.
I’m thankful to have gratitude
As the attitude of my devotion.
So, thank you everyone…
Everyone who is here,
And everyone who’s not.
Every family member,
Every friend,
Every service,
Every cause,
Every moment,
And every day.
Thank you all…
In every way…
