Why Am I Thankful?©

By Felina Silver Robinson
I’m both thankful and grateful for all those whom I love
For
The parents who raised me
The siblings who befriended me
The air I breathe
The water I drink
The food I eat
The bed I sleep in
The sun that rises
The night that falls and brings the stars
The birds that sing
The heat that warms me
The light that shows me the way
The peace that calms me
The joy that keeps me going
The freedom and skill to write
The years that I’ve beat illness
The family that gives me all that I need
Memories both new and old
Both good and bad
But key to life
Without memories
We don’t
We can’t
Grow into something
Both new and different
I’m thankful for the time
To become the person I need to be
And do the things that I need to do
Thank you
for these
Moments
That I will carry with me
Always
