the importance of thankfulness


i am thankful
so very very thankful
so busy being thankful
no time to actually thank

i am grateful for breath, for warmth
for today and the hope for a better tomorrow
if i allowed thanking to happen,
it would quickly turn to something uncomfortable
something which would demand more courage than i have

so i am especially thankful for thankfulness
thankful thankful thankful thankful
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
