On this Thankful Thursday
We give thanks for people and things
Events and experiences
Some gold plated others of ratty old strings
The grass in my yard is thankful today
For the sunlight upon it's greenery
Reviving it from it's winter slumber
Growing stronger in it's photosynthesis pageantry
My dog is thankful today
For having humans to cater to her needs
Buying her the favored treats
As the backups are repugnant to her
She turns her little nose up to them
They are beneath her notice it seems
In contrast I am thankful for whatever comes
As the alternative is nothing at all
One's name carved in stone with a pair of dates
Upon grave marker or memorial wall
