Thankful For Everything


I rub sleep from my eyes

As I roll away from bed

The sunshine kisses 

My forehead

 

Colors come into view

I see it all

The dust in the air

The paint on the walls

 

The feel of my clothes

The cold floor under my feet

Toes curl up 

As I walk to the seat

 

Of the kitchen table 

I say a little prayer 

and I smell the roasted java

 

My heart beats faster 

And I take a sip

Content

Picking up the fresh bread

And I dip

 

Sweet butter 

on my tongue

I am blessed 

I am loved
