I Am Thankful
~~~~~*~~~~~

I see Spring
But no mockingbird
singing to me
An early morning
Melody.

I smell the aroma
Of coffee
But it's bitterness
I taste not upon
My parched lips.

I hear the jingling
Of pocket change
yet I hear not
any dropping
into my empty
Hat.

I felt secured
cause last night it rained
This morning I was dry
As I crawled out
A discarded
Freight box.

Thanking God
I am still alive
"I am" what
Politicians
Thank God, they are not

A beautiful offering of Gratitude...
It can always be found, even in the
Midst of disarray and tragedy...

“Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin,
and an antiseptic..” John Henry Jowett...

Best wishes, Diana...

Profound in its simple expression.

People can be thankful for little things that matter to themselves. It's not the big cars, big houses, but being alive for another day of bliss from God. Who knows what the brand new day would have installed for them?

Nicely said, and so appropriate for the upcoming holiday season.

Isn't it funny how its the ones with so little that are the most grateful? I've known many people throughout my life from different social stratums and without fail its like the less you have the more you're thankful for.

Gratitude is a virtue that comes few and far between in this day and age. You wear it well in this poem.
