Poetry: What I'm thankful for


I am thankful

For the silken night that sneaks

Over my world in peace,

For the red sunset glowing

that puts awe on my child's lips,

For the silhouette of a fisherman

On the silver shimmering lake,

For the road I'm on as I'm driving

Home from shopping trip,

For the pizza we ate for dinner

With the extra cheesy, oozing stringy bit.

For the confidence of a little girl

Wearing a fedora in hot pink,

For each morning when she rises

A smile beaming in each cheek,

For waking from a slumber

That left me rested and at peak,

For God granting me another day

To rise and see all of this,

In all its innocent glory

And the simple beauty that exists.

    No child of mine will carry my name
    No life will make that plea
    I die and take my name unclaimed
    only a memory

    And to friends
