We can be grateful
for the sweet and the bitter
when we seek peace at the cliffs of the soul—
We can be grateful
for the sorrow
when we tend to the softening heart—
We can be grateful
for the injury
when we witness our might to heal—
We can be grateful
for laughter
if we remember—
light is a worthy endeavor.
When I say thank you, I mean, I see you.
When I say thank you, I mean, I love you.
When I say thank you, I mean, I return to you.
It may never feel like enough
when you realize that life leads to life—
and your wish: may nothing ever go to waste—
your dream could create a world
your dream could be inherited
your dream could inspire the will
to believe in something new.
