I AM THANKFUL:

FOR THE WIFE
WHO SAYS "IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT",
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

FOR THE HUSBAND
WHO IS ON THE SOFA
BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.

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

FOR THE TAXES THAT I PAY

BECAUSE IT MEANS

THAT I AM EMPLOYED.

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN UP

AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE IT MEANS

THAT I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUGLY
BECAUSE IT MEANS

THAT I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

FOR MY SHADOW
THAT WATCHES ME WORK
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE.

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

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

FOR THE PARKING SPOT I FIND

AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING
AND THAT I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION.

FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM WARM.

FOR THE LADY
BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
THAT SINGS OFF KEY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
THAT I CAN HEAR.

BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.

IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS

THAT I AM ALIVE.

FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL
BECAUSE IT MEANS

I HAVE FRIENDS

WHO ARE THINKING OF ME.
