Because I'M Alive Poem by Lynn Anne Brown

Because I'M Alive



Because I don't have more pain than I can handle
Because I have enough to eat
And because I can afford to eat the things I like
Because I have a safe place to sleep
And because that place is somewhere I don't mind being
Because the landlord fixed the roof and installed my screen door and dealt with some other trouble that make it a good place to continue being
Because, I have clothing adequate to my needs
And because at least some of it is really nice
Because I get to live near open water
And Because I have Tree for a Neighbour
Because I learned to use the Internet to help
Fnd what I was looking for
Because in doing so I found my Tribe, My Community
Because I've run out of wind before I ran out Things
To Be Thankful for.
This is why I Give Thanks
On this day
As well as every other.
Thanks all
Thanks for making Life
A Little Better
