There’s so much to be thankful for in life
Starting with life itself
For the good times and the bad
The happiness and sad
The ups and downs
Like the spikes of a beating heart
Telling you that you are alive
Like pieces of a puzzle
Coming together to create a picture
For the family that we are born in
The one we don’t choose
And for the family we make
The ones who embrace us without prejudices
For these families we are grateful
For they go on to shape us
Helping us to become who we are
Whether they accept us for who we truly are
But we know deep down
They have our best interest
If not theirs
For the friends we meet
The friends we make
The steadfast and the fair weather
The ones who stay with us forever
The ones who disappear
At the first signs of stormy weather
But for the ones who stand by us
Throw the thick and thin of life
We are eternally grateful
Cause they are our support system
They become our confidante
Our advisor, a slice of our life
The one with us forever and all eternity
For every person we meet
The ones we see
The ones we interact with
The ones we work with
For the ones because of whom
We can enjoy our freedom
They in their own way inspire us
Show us the meaning of never giving up
Of keeping the faith
And sometime even what we should not do
What we should not become
Everyone that comes in our life
Has a part to play in shaping us
And the ones that are important to us
Never truly leave
Cause they leave an imprint on our heart
Staying with us forever
We give thanks for the love we receive
And the one that we give as much as we get
A love that keeps us alive
That makes us as much as it can break us
That lifts us up to higher places
But at same time can bring us
Crashing down to earth
But through the heartaches and heartburn
It’s keeps us coming back
Cause it’s what we seek out
No matter how much we may deny it
Or we try to suppress it
But for the love that’s pure and unconditional
We give thanks
We give thanks for the ground beneath our feet
The roof over our head
That keeps Us grounded
That protect us, giving us a home
For the road that goes on and on
Taking us on a journey
Taking us on an adventure
To places we have never seen
To places we have never been
Giving us place to run to our heart’s content
We give thanks for us
For who we are
For what we are
For learning to love ourselves
Learning to accept ourselves
For who we and what we become
But always learning, always growing
Never ever fearing change
Never shutting ourselves out
From the criticism and back biting
Never letting it bring us
Never letting it hold us back
But using it as a man
to propel us forward
We give thanks for our lives
The one we have been blessed with
For everyone that comes in it
Helping us bring a change to self
For time that keeps chipping at us
Bit by bit, shaping us to a best version of ourselves
Though we never truly see it
For the air that we breathe
The food that nourishes us
The hands that feeds us
For the people that we love
The ones we hold dear forever in our heart
For every experience that we have
We give thanks for life and it’s beautiful splendour
