Thankful

I'm thankful for open hearts filled with emotion

 

I'm thankful for friends who've left their hearts open

 

I'm thankful for sunshine in the high skies of June

 

I'm thankful for nights, for the stars and the moon

 

I'm thankful for poets, who write such fine arts

 

I'm thankful for the mind, upon all of its parts

 

I'm thankful for reading, for taking the time

 

I'm thankful for each individual rhyme

 

I'm thankful for love and for the will to give

 

I'm thankful for people who truly believe

 

I'm thankful for each individual breath

 

I'm thankful for life, I'm thankful for death

 

I'm thankful for health, for the fact I'm still able

 

I'm thankful for the actual right to be thankful

Author's Note

I've been seeing too much sad pieces, so I wanted to write something real, something with hope in it.
I hope this does the trick.
Not my best work artistically, I know.

This did the trick, indeed....this poem could chase any dark cloud away....in fact, I am adding it to my library so I can read it every now and then to remind me to be thankful.

This poem makes me recall a saying: "The best things in life are not things"

Yuval, I am thankful that you wrote this....it flows so well and is a true treasure.

Lovely list poem, superbly written! =]

You have a lot to be thankful for, and you're right there are too many depressing poems around lately. Even mine! one day I'll find something cheery to write about. When my muse comes back from vacation....I hope.
