I am Thankful :
FOR THE WIFE
WHO SAYS
IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
FOR THE
HUSBAND
WHO IS ON
THE SOFA
BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH
ME
AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.
FOR THE TEENAGER
WHO IS
COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT
HOME,
NOT ON THE STREETS.
FOR THE TAXES I PAY
BECAUSE IT
MEANS
I AM EMPLOYED.
FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE IT
MEANS I HAVE
BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG
BECAUSE IT
MEANS
I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.
FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK
BECAUSE IT
MEANS
I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE
FOR A
LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND
GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A
HOME.
FOR ALL THE
COMPLAINING
I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE IT
MEANS
WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH..
FOR THE PARKING SPOT
I FIND AT THE FAR END
OF THE PARKING LOT
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING
AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH
TRANSPORTATION.
FOR
MY HUGE HEATING BILL
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM
WARM.
FOR T HE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
WHO
SINGS OFF KEY BECAUSE IT MEANS
I CAN HEAR.
FOR THE
PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.

WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES
AT THE END OF THE DAY
BECAUSE IT

CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.
FOR THE
ALARM THAT GOES OFF
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM
ALIVE.
Back To Haven On
Earth
