Thankful

Thankful!!!

On a daily basis we invite others into our lives

Whether temporarily or as a permanent fixture

With you I chose the latter.

Your smile always present, your wit as sharp as knives

On a daily basis we face conflicting issues

Some minor and insignificant others more somber

In all of these, I know I can count on you to be my pillar.

An attentive listener, your advice filled with virtue

On a daily basis we give thanks,

But, rarely for that which does actually matter.

And so, let me say in being frank

That I thank God frequently in my daily prayers,

For friends like you and others.
