I Am Thankful

For the time that we share, for the joy, sweet and rare,
For the smiles, laughter, teases, and tears;
For the sensitive times, for the rhythms and rhymes, for the candor of shadows and nightmares,
I am thankful, and will treasure through all of my years;
For the trips by your side, daily post office ride,
For the times hanging out with you there,
For the mornings til one, sharing thoughts, space, and fun; in the background, or exposed, raw, and smiling;
I am thankful, and your wisdom I wear;
For the Messenger threads, matching thoughts in our heads,
For our song, heart beats pounding together,
For the plans that we made, the foundations we laid, the commitments, in earnest, forever,
I am thankful, to be wearing a crown and a feather;
For the songs you inspire, and the poems you desire,
For the ways that my life has new meaning,
For the Navajo flute, and the dream catcher suit, the tattoo that derives from your leaning,
I am thankful, for the soulmate and sanctity gleaning;
I am thankful, for the soulmate and sanctity gleaning.
