Thanksgiving Poem

What I am Grateful for…

I am grateful for my heart

That holds my emotions and the is the center of us all

I am thankful for my hair

That gives me the beauty I carry on my head and lengthens the characteristics of myself 

I am grateful for the blood that pulses through my veins

That carries my life and will pass on my talent

I am thankful for my eyes

That let me see the world and the people I love

I am grateful for my mouth, with a gift

That lets me speak my truths, lies, my thoughts and eat the food that creates life

I am thankful for my ears

That let me listen to the good others say and hear the wild heartbeat that nature has in store

I am grateful for my nose

That allows me to smell the fragrant Earth beneath my feet and give pleasant and sweet smelling dreams

I am thankful for my feet

That grant me the ability to run from foes and dance to friends

I am grateful for my hands

That let me reach for others but touch their hearts and harvest the food that fuels these greatnesses

I am thankful for my bones

That strengthen my body and hold me up to new heights

I am grateful for my lungs

That let me breath in the air that Mother Nature breathes out

I am thankful for my life
That promised these gifts and cradles my soul

I am grateful for friends and family
That nurture my life, provide me with essentials, shelter me, and give the luck and thanks that I have always had
