A poem a day for 2013 - day 24 - Bliss

Water
I am thankful for water
For the rain that fell all night last night
For Project Runway and the rug on my floor
The fruit bowl on the table
The pillows on my couches
I am thankful for nights like this
When I am home and loved by the one I love
For Charisse and Valerie
Leslie and Wil
For these brilliant women
Who magic words and scripture
Compassion and laughter
And I know the world is better because
They are in it
My mother
I am thankful for my mother
My sister
Son
Sun
Love
I am thankful for love
For family
Friends
For funny
For quiet moments to pray
Listen
Sing
For poetry
I am thankful for everything awkward about me
For dreams
My sweaters boots and long skirts
For everything in my bag
For my socks 
And for people who make me laugh
For art
Fashion
For the sound of laughter from my son
I am thankful right now 
For knowing that this list will forever
I am thankful 
For the feeling
Of
Being
Thankful
