I am Thankful
for the family I’m not with but know that I’ve always got
for the legs that have led me to this spot
for the hand that transmits my thought
for the battles I’ve won and lost but always fought
for the things I’ve learned and lessons I’ve taught
for all that I’ve dropped and all that I’ve caught
for that which I don’t know and the knowledge sought
for that which is sold and that which cannot be bought
for every one of life’s new mornings to take another shot
for the eyes that let me see whether I understand or not
for the lives I’ve touched even when I’m gone and I rot
for the family I’m not with but know that I’ve always got.
