I'm thankful for you and those,
Especially thankful I've made another year
In fairly good health.
I'm thankful for America
Even as she is being attacked from within
I'm thankful for so very, very much
For my children
My long, lost children
Bless then and render to them
All good things
And newly found friends who've blessed my life
And Zoe, my four-legged friend
My companion during these last days

I liked this and, yep, for sure, gotta remember to take a bit of time to appreciate, because, in a snap, it could all be taken away. I'm thankful for you too! Enjoyed!

Appreciate your input about my poem, Bob. Tke like on full force, I don't think we get a second time around. Eh, the jury is still out on reincarnation.

Good morning, Ida, if I know what's important, it took me much too long to figure it out. Thank you for being here.
