Your life appears makeup of barriers and
hurdles,
But there’s something to be thankful for.
Your life from birth to date full of ups
and downs,
Times of needs, times of tears and times
of lost,
But there’s something to be thankful
for.
Life seems like a tall mountain to
climb,
Sometimes it looks as deep as a valley
to cross.
However, there’s something to be
thankful for.
Your genealogy seems nothing to be glade
of,
But there’s something to be thankful for.
Your lineage seems to have no support
system,
You try hard, but it looks to be very
difficult.
Don’t worry; there’s something to be
thankful for.
Your family walls seem to be falling
apart,
Love once are gone, it appears no center
to hold on.
Don’t grief; there’s something to be
thankful for.
Your career projections look very bleak,
But there’s something to be thankful for.
Your job hunting appears to be hunting
you down,
It seems as if, “go and come” is your
order of every day.
Don’t give up; there’s something to be
thankful for.
You’re honestly doing your best as you
can at work,
But your bosses treat you inhumanly and callously.
Take a breath; there’s something to be
thankful for.
Oh you’re a manager maliciously tagged
by employees,
But there’s something to be thankful for.
Your honest desire is to create enough
to share with all,
Yet, employees never appreciate your frantic
efforts.
Don’t be dejected perplexed, there’s
something to be thankful for.
Things aren’t going on well within your management,
And it appears your annual projections
won’t be met.
Don’t be perplexed, there’s something to
be thankful for.
Trials to your aspirations seem
unlimited,
But there’s something to be thankful for.
Your aspirations are positive and
purposeful,
Yet detractors are armed up with trivialities.
Don’t be dismayed; there’s something to
be thankful for
It looks like all your appointments are
disappointments,
And it seems failure is becoming your
bedmate.
Don’t despair; there is something to be
thankful for.
Adversities in your life seem not to
give way,
But there’s still something to be
thankful for.
Disasters around you appear not to give
way,
You hold them by the right but they give
out the left.
But calm down, there’s something to be
thankful for.
Your whole life assets are swept away
by,
Storms, tsunamis, earthquakes and what
have you?
It’s truly difficult; but there’s still something
to be thankful for.
There’s only one thing that gives hope
to the future,
That one and only one thing is the life
you have.
Your family lineage is almost in
disarray, yes I know,
Your take home pay can’t take you home,
that’s true.
But all isn’t lost; you have your life
to be thankful for.
The whole world may seem against your
existence,
Nevertheless, you’re alive; your life is
not taken away.
So don’t give up on the future; you
still have your life.
Life makes all aspirations possible
despite the challenges,
You need to be thankful for life as
you’re alive.
Give hope to your life expectations and cherish
your life,
Thank God the giver of life for everyday
of your life.
Keep faith with the times and seasons,
never give up,
The evening may look like all
expectation is gone.
But wait for the next morning, life will
smile on you.
Life is certainly something to be
thankful for always.
