THANK YOU

We at times take for granted some of the things we have in life;
We forget of the simple things we are blessed with in life;
At times to the extent of taking advantage of them or not appreciating at all.

This life is too short to take for granted;
This note is a thank you note;
This goes to all the people who I've  have met in my journey of life;
Those who have added value;
Those who wasted my time and made me wiser;
Those who never believed and now are left amazed;
And of course those closest to me.

I am thankful to my CREATOR;
He is the one who has enabled me to get to where I am right now;
Given me the opportunity to create my own life story;
Make a difference in other people's lives
And ability to see another day;
With all my senses and physical ability intact;
And not lacking in anyway.

I am thankful for my MOTHER;
She has been my rock;
She has been my comforter;
She has been my provider;
She has been my worst enemy yet a best friend;
She has been my adviser and manager;
She has been my ALL.
She's seen me at my best and worst;
And still told me to hold my head high and everything will work out despite me seeing things crashing in front of my face.

I am thankful for my FAMILY;
We may not see eye to eye but at the end of it all;
FAMILY IS FAMILY.
Can't change them.
I am most thankful for the doubt that they have instilled in me my whole life;
That's what I believe has made me as strong as I am right now.

I am thankful for all my SISTERS n BROTHERS;
Always a phone call away;
Always a chat away;
Always a drive away;
We may be on and off;
Not kept tabs (my apologies);
But I always have you in my heart.
We may fight and go on for months with no communication;
But once I call you sibling; that's something that will NEVER change;

I am thankful for all the
TRUE FRIENDS in my life;
Not the acquaintances I have met;
Not the two timing snakes;
But the ride or die people I've come across.;
We may have not started off on the right note;
But our friendship is worth the growth.

I am thankful for all the TIME WASTERS I have met;
You too have to be appreciated;
You have made me wiser;
You have made me smarter;
And you have made me more keen to look out for idiots like yourself.

I am thankful for my PAST RELATIONSHIPS;
I have been hurt many times;
I have cried many times;
I have seen sides of me that I never imagined existed.
I have become stronger;
I have become more cautious;
I have become a different person in comparison to when we first met.

I am thankful for my MENTORS;
I hate the truth;
But you feed it to me;
I hate reality at times;
But you're there to always keep me afloat;
And realize the reality of the matter.

I am especially thankful to my CONFIDANT;
I am thankful for the time you create to hear me out;
I am thankful for the ability to stand my madness;
I am thankful for you accepting me for who I am;
I am thankful for the tolerance and patience you have with me;
You are my drug of sanity;
My backbone;
My adviser;
My partner in crime;
And my reflection/ reality mirror.

For those who will get a chance to read this;
You do know where you stand in my life;
And I am thankful I met you;
I am thankful our paths crossed;
I am thankful you touched my life;
Apologies to those I may have wronged or offended;
But thanks for the lessons;
I'm thankful you made it possible for me to paint the colors on my canvas of life.
I may not get to tell you this in person;
But I am THANKFUL.
