Because I Am Thankful


Because I am thankful

I have not forgotten

Those who held my hand

During my life journey.


Blessed with these tender souls

Who have walked with me until

I reached the next destination.


Many times I cried when they let go.

Now understanding

That once they delivered me,

A new hand was prepared.


In my gratefulness I pray

That my hand has been as useful

To those along their way.
