Grateful

This year when she sits at the Thanksgiving table with

some of the people she loves most in this world
She’ll reflect on the events that
have shaped their lives to this point
Making them all stronger than they ever thought they’d
have to be 

While it’s true life hasn’t been a bed of roses  

She still has a lot to be thankful for
A mother and best friend who has stood by her rain or shine
never asking a thing in return
A sister she hopes will always know
how deep the love she feels for her really goes

Great memories of a brother who God has called home for

reasons she wishes she understood and
hopes someday she will 
A baby sister who reminds her how great
God is and can really be

The love of a man who stole her heart and

takes care of it as if it were a priceless treasure
He’s always made her feel like she’s the
only woman in the world for him
These people are just a few of those she is grateful for
Not just around this time of  Thanksgiving but
every day of the year
She hopes all those she loves will
have a safe and happy holiday
