I am thankful for...

               nights that turn into mornings

      s

       u

         n

          light that filters through

          in drowsy moments

      sounds you can only hear with

               quiet concentration.

          home, and for those that call it that too

          a mind that speaks, music to drown in

       art to admire and be in awe of

          books books and books

          pages and chapters and real emotion

          over fictional characters

        sharp pencil points

                    forever memories

                   and faded memories

            peace and friends who remind me

            to smile and not fade away

          reaching

                         trying

                                    hoping

           the ability to start over again

            seeing one more time

                       one  last   time

            if only in a dream

           all these pieces of life

            make me think

                     and thank

             the One who gave it all.
