Let Me Take This Moment
by Genevieve Sturrocklet me take
this moment
right now
to say
thank you
for i do not
want to
look back
and discover
that i did not
appreciate
all that
my life
offered
so even though
i am weary
from carrying
the burdens
of my life
short of money
short of time
missing my kids
afraid for my job
worried about
my parents
the economy
the future for
my own next
generation
let me take
this moment
right now
to say
thank you
for i have a
generation for
the future
a safe home
loving arms
to support
me when i stumble
joyful voices
to keep me company
a job to make the
money to keep
the financial
wheel a turnin'
and a faith
that i do not
ever
walk alone
a belief
that there is
more
waiting for me
beyond this life
a love
that is, truly,
unconditional
surrounding
us all
let me take
this moment
right now
to say
thank You 04/24/2009 Author's Note: never let it be said that i forgot to appreciate what i had when i had it.
