I’m Thankful For…
by Beth Wangler
The breath in my lungs,
The beat of my heart,
The warmth of the sun
When a new day starts,
The cool breeze that blows,
Sweet mint tea,
The sunset that glows
O’er a picnic by the sea,
The look of wonder
When a struggle is won,
Peals of thunder,
A job well done,
Soft yarn twining
Into neat crochet stitches,
Waking up and finding
Someone’s cleaned all the dishes,
The feeling that you get
When you’re in a child’s drawing,
Icing that finally sets,
Frozen fingers thawing,
Stories where I can’t guess the ending,
Fuzzy warm blankets,
Smooth color blending,
Badminton rackets,
A fresh-opened book,
A quirky new mug,
A nice writing nook,
And a hearty bear hug,
But of all these great joys,
The greatest must be
That, when given a choice,
You still chose me.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone :)
