i give thanks.
for every obstacle in my path.
for every stubbed toe,
for every hour waiting.
i give thanks.
for every deed of blind selfishness
i'm grateful.
every large and small thing taken from me
stolen at night in the darkness
i give thanks.
a gift in every loss.
a prayer in every effort.
a beautiful release in every opportunity
to let go
one more time.
for nothing gained,
i give thanks to the heavens.
to walk in perfect silence
my reaching heart
someday. i pray.
