I wrote this for Thanksgiving to say around my family at dinner.
Be Thankful

Be thankful for what you have.
A family that loves and understands,
A place to go and find peace of mind,
While others on the streets continue to die.

A place to sleep and stay safe at night,
The place where we feel complete and right.
But others fear of going to sleep,
Afraid to lose their everything.

Shelter and food isn't everything we need,
Life needs to have friends and family.
I'm glad to have all of you,
There are so many things you've helped me through.

I'm thankful for all the things that I have in my life,
A loving mother and father, plus a sister that's worth everything.
We've all been to the bottom at one time or another,
But let's be thankful, for we have each other.
