Daily Thanksgiving
 



I hope and pray I can explain
One moment, one second, one day
To the loved ones left behind
Just how grateful I am
In ways I cannot explain
Nor always understand
Their loss became my gift
Their grief became my joy
An ending my beginning
If only there were words to speak
The tears of mixed emotions I shed
The ties I feel to unknown faced
The thank yous I whisper daily
The gratitude that sustains me
The life that dwells within me
Shared with two giving souls


If my words never speak
The intensity my heart beats
May my angels watch and forever know
Every moment, every second, every day
Just how grateful I am

Dedicated to my donors and their families as I live each day in gratitude hoping one day I will find the right words to express the gratitude that dwells within my heart and soul. Because of you each and every day is Thanksgiving.
