From the heart

Thankfulness is all around,
it lingers in the air.
It reaches out to take my hand
and show me all who care.

Thankfulness in my child's reach,
they guide me through the day.
The lessons that they teach
show me there is another way.

Thankfulness between four square walls,
underneath a humble roof.
Keeps me warm and sheltered,
A small token of love's proof.

Thankfulness in my husband's eyes,
his touch and his care;
the power of his influence, the quiet self-sacrifice.
Bound together eternally, this life's journey to share.

Thankfulness to run, to walk, jump and skip;
In eyes that see the mediocre and the grand.
An able mind. To taste deliciousness;
the laughter dancing from each mouth like the melody of a band.

Thankfulness is all around,
it lingers in the air.
It reaches out to take my hand
and show me there's so much life there.

So I don't know where that came from. It just came up and I let it out. Its a little cheesy but its me. I love Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for.
