Thankful

In the quiet moments of gratitude’s embrace

I count my blessings, in each cherished space

Though lacking some needs, I stand tall and true

Thankful for all that I have, for the sky so blue

A roof over my head, a warm meal to share

Pup by my side, showing she cares

Though some needs may go unmet

Gratitude fills me with no regret

For in the simple joys, in the little things

I find contentment, my spirit sings

Thankful for the love that surrounds

In the beauty of life, in its gentle bounds

So, I bow my head in humble grace

Thankful for each moment, each embrace

For in the midst to flack, in the face of want

Gratitude fills my heart, a radiant font

It is often difficult to see the positive in anything when you are living through such turmoil and such intense emotions. But I find myself thinking this way more every day. While I still have a long way to go, I have a lot more than a lot of people. I think of the housing crisis, and how it continues to get worse with every passing year. I think of my past housing struggles and how far I come, and I am just thankful and grateful for everything that I have.
