Gratitude List
12 December 2008
I stumble and fall.
I stand up and walk again.
I whine, I grumble.
I sing praises and shout ‘hurrayyy’.
Simple things and big things.
Everything.
I just can not stop to thank YOU.
What else can I say?
I always look back to YOU.
It’s not that I love YOU that much.
I don’t have the strength to do that, and YOU know it.
YOU love me first.
That’s what keeps me going on.
I wander around,
figuring things out on my own.
I hurt others, I hurt myself.
I cry, cry and always cry.
YOU always wait.
YOU take care of me even when I am at the most unlovable state.
There are times that I think I’m nobody.
When friends simply don’t want to talk,
when my expectations grow and take over my mind
when everything is out of control.
.. but YOU did it, over and over again.
I know YOU’re not gonna stop loving me.
YOU are LOVE.
How can YOU stop?
It is like what they sang:
How far the east is from the west?
It’s from one scarred hand to the other
I thank YOU.
Though it’s going to be a routine,
I know YOU’re going to add up something new,
something beyond my thoughts and hopes.
YOU are joy, that’s what YOU are.
