Gratitude

I am thankful for this day
For the blessings and lessons I experienced
I am thankful for the stories and poems and words that washed over me at The World Stage tonight
For my teachers and mentors
I am thankful for friends and good conversations
I am thankful for my son
For my friends and family
I am thankful for my mother
For all of the village that shines a positive light in Uraeus' life
I am thankful for life
For nature and clean air
I am thankful for water and sun
For food and shelter
And time and opportunity to forgive and be forgiven and live
Another day
I am thankful
