I've been through so much in my life sometimes it was hard to deal.
So many different situations thrown at me I found it hard to distinguish what was real from what I just made up in my head.
Sometimes I wished I was dead but I held on instead knowing that one day things would get better.
I'm so thankful God never gave up on me even when I gave up myself.
There were times when I was so down and out that it affected my health both physically and mentally.
I was really in a bad place.
My life was filled with so much turmoil all I could do was hide my face in shame.
But then I called on the name of Jesus and asked him to guide me through the trials and tribulations that stood in front of me.
I'm so thankful God saw me through and never left my side.
God never asks for anything in return just by his rules we must abide.
There's nothing like the love He shows and I hope He knows the love I have for Him overflows from my heart down to my soul.
And that's why every morning I wake I take time to make sure I pray and tell God I'm so Thankful.

Poetry: What I'm thankful for
I need no life-changing fortune
To be grateful for what I have
No need to pursue happiness
When for my simple life I am
For wind and rain and green growing things,
Let us be thankful.
For gladdening sun and bright blue sky,
Let us be thankful.
by Ila Ann
Be thankful
For every day
For every person
In their own special way
Be thankful for blue skies
For warm sunlight
by Terrence Aym
The sun has risen once again.
The touch of your soft, warm hand,
The blossoming garden outside our door,
What I'm thankful
My humble thanks I give to Thee
For a life of relative peace and harmony
While some starve and suffer horrors untold
I feast
