The poem below is my way o' givin' thanks to YOU.
For without each being that has touched my life,
I would not, could not - BE.





As I sit here deep in thought o' thankfulness,
Brought on by a fast approachin' holiday,
I feel compelled to pen words that reassess
Sad memories that refuse to fade away.

I've gathered together the good 'n' the bad
Dancin' around in the corners o' my mind.
If I falter I'm sure to be driven mad,
Bound by emotions that are the ties that bind.

I question whether to put pain in the past,
To where I've oft' been admonished it belongs.
I think o' the hardships I've survived, they are vast,
And the mountains I've climbed to right all the wrongs.

Friends, not all o' the type o' the fair-weathered,
Always believin' in me when I could not,
Angels they've been - for me, needfully feathered -
Forever flyin' me through a dark, weak spot.

The voice within speaks - oh yes, I can hear it -
Words as melodic as a spring weather chart.
Now, with a bit o' sunshine in my spirit,
I welcome peace in my ever thankful heart.
