I forget to say thank you.
I’ve forgotten to say thank you...
for everyday
another attempt
is given
my way.
There are people
who’d love a try
but can’t have one.
There are people
who didn’t get
another day to have one...
Still
I forget.
I forget to say thank you
for what has
been gifted me.
By default
Never requested
Just accepted
Because it was
what was normal
for me...
to have without desiring
allowed, just because
I happen to be breathing,
yet
I forget to say thank you,
when taking for granted
the steps I take
with these feet
these hands
that create
Mind shaped
all my senses
in place
I’ve food for today
Somewhere
to rest my head
But sometimes
I find myself
complaining instead.
and forgetting
To say thank you.
My little is much
and I want to fully
declare this
Before I close my eyes
and compromise this
Opportunity
to say
Thank You
For all that You’ve
placed inside this
claypot
whose contours You’ve decorated.
Thank you...
and I will choose
to forever say this
at all times
not in few
at all times
I will choose
to let
gratefulness
reside on my lips.
Lest I forget;
and there is no chance
again for me to say this
and my offerings become just as empty wishes.
I will choose
to forever say this
at all times
not in few
at all times
I will choose
to let
gratefulness
Reside on my lips.
Lest I forget;
and there is no chance
again for me to say this
and my offerings become just as empty wishes.
