Thanksgiving Special – Thankful

I wrote this poem this morning while I was selling newspapers like a hooker on the corner of Desperate and Pathetic.


THANKFUL


THANKFUL
FOR THE FOOD I EAT
THANKFUL
FOR THE BED I SLEEP
THANKFUL
FOR THE LORD
MY SOUL TO KEEP
THANKFUL
FOR THE SEEDS
TO SOW AND REAP
THANKFUL
FOR THE FAITH
I LEAP

THANKFUL
FOR THE GIFTS
PRESENTED TO ME
THANKFUL
FOR MY PARENTS
RESTING IN PEACE
THANKFUL
FOR EVERYONE I MEET
EXCEPT THOSE WHO THINK
THEIR STUFF DON'T STINK

THANKFUL
FOR THE PEOPLE AND THINGS
THAT MAKE THIS WORLD
A BETTER PLACE
THANKFUL
FOR THE BIRDS
WHO COME TO FEED
THANKFUL
FOR MY FEETS
SO I CAN GO-GO
IN THE STREETS

THANKFUL
FOR LIVING IN A COUNTRY
THAT IS FREE
THANKFUL
FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN
WHO MAKE IT BE

THANKFUL
FOR THE HIGHER POWER
FOR WHOM
MAKES IT
ALL POSSIBLE

THANKFUL
FOR YOU
TO LOOK AND SEE
THE WORDS I WRITE
ON THE PAGES
IN BETWEEN

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!

Cherish the ones you love.

And if you don't have anyone to love, love yourself!

If you lost a love, remember the good times you had and move on!

Life's too short to dwell on the past.

Be thankful for what you have

Another day
Another dollar
Another
50 Cent
An hour
Makes no sense
To me

Another whiskey sour
With cheese
To ease
The pain
To see
Another day
I can't wait
To leave

Another lie
Another deceit
I can't wait
To get back
Out on the street

I tried to
Tell them the truth
They wouldn't believe
Back on my own
Two feet

Need to
Get to steppin'
As Mr. Jackson
Suggested
And repeats
Before my faith
Depletes

I know God
Is in the drivers' seat
To take me
To my destiny
Mission complete

My exit plan
Is in God's hands
That's all
I need to know
And understand
