Remember to be Thankful

The Writers Workshop Assignment I chose to accept: Write a poem about the things you are thankful for.


I am thankful for all of these things and so many more. I am a blessed and grateful woman, today and everyday.

Remember to be Thankful
Thankful for the big
Thankful for the small
Thankful for the good
Thankful for the bad
Trials make you strong
Troubles don't last long
There is food to eat
A warm place to sleep
Family who loves you
Friends who accept you
Wonderful husband
Gorgeous, happy, and healthy son
The hope for tomorrow
Anticipation of blessings to come
Gratitude and hugs
Love and luck
Happiness and grief
Memories of those no longer with us
Traditions old and new
First Thanksgiving messy and fun
Parades and Football games 
Leftovers and afternoon naps
Gathering together
Remembering our blessings
Love to everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving! May your day be filled with family, fun and love.
