Be Thankful
A Poem of Thanksgiving by Latorial Faison
Every now & then when life will allow
Recall the years in silence from birth ‘til now.
The elders prepared a place & helped to pave our way.
Now with our hearts & hands, we curate & save the day.
The past is full of memories, fared well & not so well,
Yet be ever grateful that we’re alive just to tell,
Of all the wonder years, all the people, all the smiles,
Days filled with love & laughter even across the miles.
For every little triumph, be glad you made it through,
The ins & outs, joys & pains, the good works in life to do.
Be thankful for it all, to have lived life honest & true,
To have given of yourself, every single arc & hue.
Every now & then, when this life allows,
Stand still & pay homage to the voices & the vows.
In your heart be ever mindful of this universal joy,
The light we shine, the love we give: the grace of God’s employ.
