I am thankful 

for picnics in fields,
for walks by the river,
for chips by the sea,
for libraries full of books,
for live music,
for theatre shows,
for ten pin bowling alleys,
for swimming pools,
Jacuzzis and saunas,
for movies with popcorn,
for dancing,
for singing,
for my education,
for rides on trams, trains and buses,
for car journeys,
for ferries, hovercrafts, and boats.

I am thankful 

for the opportunities I have had
and the people who gave them to me,
for being able to write my words
and share them however I choose,
and for those who read them.
