I'm thankful for the time to reflect
To feel warm embraces of memories
Emotions of lighthearted joy, and
Scenes of my life that conclude with
Their own heartfelt epilogues
Thankful to shed tears
Serving as reminders
That no matter the hardship
We are one as human
Keeping internal connections alive
Breathing in this life to the fullest
I explore in self
What I can give
Back to this journey
My eternal gratitude
For moments like this
And loved ones like you.

I wrote this piece last year for Thanksgiving, but its message goes for each and every day. Let us always spread love and warmth, and open our hearts to each other. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Cherish what you have, and remember that you are loved, always.
