To Be Thankful
I realized how Priveledged I am.
How good I have it.
Is it Luck?
Necessites handed to me, but over looked for years.
I use to be so inconsiderate and selfish.
Absorbed only in the present, and not concerned with where I came from and what made me who I am.
Perhaps I was just young and naive, too innocent to understand the beautiful world I live in.
In the past I was ugly and conceded.
Only now do I see how great my friends and family have been to me.
Reminsing on these strength's from your teaching and guidance;
There is only one thing left to do.
Offer you my help and say thanx for everything you've done.
Support Yourself. I wrote this during Thanksgiving 2002. I went up to my Dad's house excited to see my sister's, step mom, and the relatives. I got there and everyone had this negative approach. My one sister kept asking everyone to take her to McDonald's while people worked to prepare the evenings feast. I hadn't ate that good in months and it was just another meal, another day to most of the younger kids that were there. I thought about myself at that age. What was I like. How I have changed and grown. I guess till you have nothing you won't appreciate all things that you could have. And you won't realize what life is until you get out there and live it. Until you are the provider, everything is taken for granted. Family and friends are their for help, but don't use them as a crutch. Do something for someone thats done something for you, and stop always thinking of yourself.
