Thankful

So they asked me what I'm thankful for..

Of course family and friends come to mind

Or things I take for granted from time to time

I can't imagine what would life be like without running water or a place to lay my head at night

I'm thankful for that

Or perhaps the things I look past like my past

All the hardships trails and tribulations I've been thru

People leaving when you need them most, all of sudden their ghost

Disappeared

The Failures in life and of course the heartbreaks

Be ashamed without a dollar to my name

I was knocked down 

But I'm never going back.

I'm thankful for it all

The struggle

I found light when my world was dark

All because of my heart

No negativity no giving up 

Made the best of my situation now things are looking up

I'm thankful for that

The chance at life everyday, with the blessing or life I wouldn't be here being thankful today.
