#Thankful

Thankful is like pencil lead

Until you have the conviction

To brand it on your heart

And etch it into your soul.

 

Letting the grass turn brown

To appreciate the beauty in it.

If the plastic melts treat the aroma

Like your favorite scented candle.

When your gloves get lost

Allow your hands to be sticks

You use to make a campfire.

 

Nothing is ever lost

When you’ve found faith,

Everything is gained

When you’ve discovered

The love for yourself.

I am a big advocate of thankfulness. My numerous prayers every day are all about it. Yet here you've defined it in ways that are way off the beaten path, which I love. This is the crux of SHOW instead of tell . . . great examples, relatable, yet unusual. My tooth broke off this weekend & I can't afford a dentist, so I'm just adopting the attitude you advocate here. At least I still have a bunch of teeth still chomping! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

and if you have love for yourself, you can make anything happen...especially that which would seem overwhelming to most...
