Write A Poem About Something You Are Thankful For.
I spent everyday with them.
Thinking about them.
Talking to them.
Laughing with them.
Gossiping.
I thought the only people in the world
who understood me
were my friends.
And then we grew up.
Realized we weren’t going to be neighbors
for life after all.
So many different directions.
We couldn’t follow each other.
I lean on family.
My husband brings calm
to long busy days.
My kids bring a love unmatched by any.
My sisters and my Mom.
My constant sources of support.
But still.
When that eclipse of a moment occurs
and all of the different directions just stop
and find each other again,
It’s like stepping back in time.
The laughter, the inside jokes, the recognition.
I remember these people
and why I chose them to be mine.
And they remember me.
The girl before kids and husbands and aprons
And they bring her back.
And I’m so thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
