Thankful

More goofing off.

I’m thankful for the things I have

And all the things I don’t.

I’m thankful for what you’d do for me,

And all the things you won’t.

 

I’m thankful for all of my siblings,

And the ones who were never born.

I’m thankful for all of my hand-me-down clothes

Too ugly to ever be worn.

 

I’m thankful for all of my teachers,

And the homework that I never do.

I’m thankful for all of the criticism

I never get from you.

 

I’m thankful that I have you

When I don’t even have me

I’m thankful for the arguments

That never came to be

 

I’m thankful that you could leave me

But I know that you won’t.

I’m thankful for all the things that I have,

But mostly the things that I don’t.
