I am Thankful

I am Thankful … I can walk.There are those who have never taken their first step. 

I Am Thankful…
I can see the beauty all around me.There are those whose world is always dark. 

I Am Thankful … I can hear music playing.There are those who entire life has been spent in silence. 

I Am Thankful…
My heart can be broken.There are those who are so hardened they cannot be touched. 

I Am Thankful … 
I can move about freely and express my beliefs.There are those who live in constant fear. 

I Am Thankful …
I have been loved.There are those for whom no one has ever cared. 

I Am Thankful… 
I can work. There are those who have to depend on others for even their most basic needs. 

I Am Thankful… 
For the opportunity to help others. There are those who have not been so abundantly blessed as I.
