Thanking the Obvious
The covers for never leaving after a one night's stand
the bed that support me as I sleep
the house that has provided shelter from storm and insects
the computer purchased by my mother to help me keep up with the days
the food that remains in the house
my family and parents for existing with me
my friends and strangers for proving the good in humanity
the earth for providing the air I need
God for protecting and leading me
and everything in between.
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
