Thankful

Thank you for these days,

For another blessed day,

For the fresh air,

The wind in my hair.

I no longer care if I look a mess,

If you do not like the clothes I wear,

Whether you dislike the lilt in my voice,

You hate my accent.

I care no more,

It is no accident,

I do what I like,

When I like,

Nobody controls me,

I do as I please,

Refrain from judging me, please.

I know what matters,

What lays in my heart,

I do not care if you think me too plump,

I am nice.

I am delighted for the little arms that surround me,

The tiny kisses that wake me up,

The cuddles that I feel,

The love that I give.

I am happy with the sun in the sky,

The rain on my face,

The water in my bath,

The coffee in my cup,

The love in my heart.

Thank you God,

For I have lived,

If I die tomorrow I know that I give with an open heart,

My love is eternal,

That shall never depart,

We shall never truly be apart.
