Little Things I'm Thankful For
i'm thankful for late nights cold air sacred silence counting stars stirring trees leaves on the wind snowflakes in my hair winter waking i'm thankful for quiet skies safe darkness hidden whispers answered prayers frozen fingers icy ears red nose a warming heart set free to melt just a million stars winter wind autumn trees God and me i'm thankful for peace found at midnight arms stretched to the sky or wrapped around a tree heavens aglow with a thousand wishes waiting to be whispered i'm thankful for life fog from my breath heart beating beneath my jacket warm and cold warring inside every blessing laughter little sisters music heard in the silence poetry that fills my mind healing renewed trust growing friendships second chances Jesus. Happy Thanksgiving, dear reader. Blessings! - Madeline Joy
