Thank you God for everything and everyone I hold dear.
Thank you for your love for me.
Thank you for taking such good care of me and my family.
Thank you for my awsome Dad.
Thank you for my Mom.
Thank you for my sister Christine,
and my brothers Patrick and Brian.
Thank you for my dearest friend Adrienne,
and my other college friends too
Thank you for the people on allpoetry.
For my friends who are swell,
and for those who facinate me, like aslanlight and Elrena, and littleoneofGod.
Thank you for the simple beauty of the universe.
For the delicate flowers,
for the lush green grass.
For the brilliantly blue sky,
for the puffy clouds.
For the moon and stars,
for the sun and rain.
Thank you for trees and animals
for the strong mountains, and deep oceans.
Thank you for the amazing things that make up the universe.
For cells and atoms,
for chemicals and physics.
Thank you for every cell and molecule that makes up the world.
And thank you for letting us learn more about them.
Thank you for loyal dogs
and for playful kittens.
Thanks you for taking such good care of me and my family.
Thank you for letting me always feel your love
and for letting me always feel your presence.
Thank you for being there for me
Especially durring the times when I have needed you most.
When my Bioplar is out of control
and no one understands.
When I cry myself to sleep because I am hurting,
thank you for guiding me through it all
and for explaining things to me when I am confused.
Thank you for taking such good care of my family
especially when I can not be there for them.
Thank you, thank you!
A million times over!
I'd truly be lost without you.
