thankful

despite the times
with wars and crimes,
hungers and deaths,
i still have much to be thankful for i am blessed,
so many downs and some ups
but those ups is what i'll always flashback on,
truly thankful from the still clear blue skies
to so tearful eyes,
should've had more true
but i could've had less,
but in the end i had enough,
why wait til the 4th thursday of november to finally give thanks,
when everyday i breathe,
everyday my friends i have with me so though at times lonesome
i'm never abondened,
everyday i see a tommorow,
its everyday that we ought to be greatful,
because the one time we reminice on the good we had
we won't have it anymore,
yeah god lets it rain,
but he still brings out the sun afterwards.
so as long as we can see,
eat,
speak,
listen and taste,
exhale and walk,
and be with our loved ones
theres no reason not to be thankful.
