Tears; Joy and Sadness

- Thankful -

Life often feels so overwhelming,

Sometimes even depressing.

And it is so easy to start thinking negatively.

Through all that, somehow, my thoughts change.

And I become thankful.

I begin, again, to remember what You've done for me.

All the protection and provision that You provide.

All the mountains You have helped me over.

All the rivers we have waded across.

And again, I become aware of what I have.

I have a family to laugh with and to cry with.

I have access to food and water.

There is a roof over my head, and a bed to sleep on.

I may not have a lot, but this much I do have.

You have placed beauty all over for our enjoyment.

Stars in the sky,

Butterflies in the breeze,

Stripes on the tigers,

Goofy grins on babies faces.

After I remember these things,

I become overwhelmed with thankfulness. 

I am so thankful for my life.

I am so thankful that You Bless me even though You don't need to.

My poems are real. I am real. I don't know how to "fake it". I usually don't need to think about what I'll write, it comes to me, through what I experience. I write to let out my feelings, often to let other people know that they are not alone.

The day I wrote this poem, 26th, I was feeling super thankful. Today, my other reality hits me hard, (the poem coming next), reading this poem today, I am reminded there is still good in life.

Thankyou for reading my poems, your support means so much to me. I enjoy reading your poems too. Please forgive me for not being very active here. ~ Love and Blessings, Tiger.
