I’m grateful for this awkward life,

Each second of rich delight.

Memories, days of hurtful spite;

Creative flight — resilience.

I’m blessed to have family near,

When life was murky, and rough.

When I’ve cried, experienced fear;

Chattered with mom, time ne’er enough.

Movies and popcorn with brothers —

Dinners with family, and friends.

Youth, adulthood with grandmothers;

Choir heard with Dad sung blended.

Somedays I’m grateful for quiet,

Some the gusto of discovery.

Others, I’ve suffered silently,

Guided through faith, recovering.
