Poem/Thanksgiving

I am thankful that I escaped

That I left and had the courage that it would take

I am thankful that my heart started to smile

Despite all at that time in my life was senile

I am thankful that I did not fall apart

While trying to separate my heart.

I am thankful that life can be grand

Despite all the hurt that can follow a man.

I am so thankful my love never dried up

That I could forgive and such.

I am most thankful that my life started again

Regardless of all that I went through back then.

I am thankful like a deer that escapes the hunter’s bow

Like a cold frost that can destroy things and then knows when to let go.

I am much thankful for new beginnings

And  for being able to hear the songs that birds are singing.

From start to finish, onward I must go

Always striving to see thanksgiving in all I live to know.
