Being Thankful

Be thankful for the life that we have,
For there are others that do not have,
Be thankful for the people that we have,
For there are others that do not have.

Such simple words, simple meanings,
But have always gone unappreciated,
We grumble our miserables,
We cursed and swear like this is the end.

Be thankful that you have today,
Why worry about tomorrow,
When you still have today to make your day,
Let tomorrow be tomorrow.

Be appreciative to people around you,
Do not dismiss them,
The people, friend or foe have always been around you,
Letting your day out of the doldrum.

Family, friends and foe alike live together with us,
They are always with us,
They make our life meaningful,
Be thankful.

Be thankful that you have today,
Be thankful that you can make people happy,
Be thankful that you can still smile away,
Be thankful that they are still your company.
