Be Thankful…

Be Thankful:

FOR THE TEENAGER
WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME,
NOT ON THE STREETS.

FOR THE TAXES YOU PAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
YOU ARE EMPLOYED.

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU HAVE
BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

FOR YOUR SHADOW THAT WATCHES YOUR WORK
BECAUSE IT MEANS
YOU ARE OUT IN THE SUNSHINE

FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU HAVE A HOME.

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING
YOU HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE IT MEANS
WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH..

FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
BECAUSE IT MEANS
YOU HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.

FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES
AT THE END OF THE DAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU ARE
CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE…
