How thankful I am for the little things

How thankful I am for the little things

How lucky I am
for these warm boots
when the wind blows cold outside.

How grateful I am
for this home and yard
that is safe for my dogs to play.

How thankful I am
to feel the sun and watch my garden grow
when so many cannot.
