THANKSGIVING

Many people go through life wishing
Always wanting more than they possess
When we see how others are forced to live,
Why is it so few people feel blessed?

You do not live in a war zone,
With fighting and killing close-by
Afraid that this day might just be your last
That this is the day that you’ll die

You do not live in a barren land
Complaining of hunger and thirst
The rain, storms, heat and the sunshine
You are sheltered from the elements worst

You have friends and family who love you
A loving husband and son at your side
So many out there have no-one
As all their friends and their loved ones have died

So don’t waste your life wishing and wanting
Or you’ll miss out on what you possess
A life so many only dream of
So many, unlike you, who aren’t blessed.

Love

To Zac...

I love the way you smile with your eyes
I love the sound of your laughter
I love to hold you as you sleep in my arms
And to watch the expression of wonder
Upon your face

I love to watch you experience new things
I love to tuck you down to sleep
I love to see the sheer joy
brought by the simple things
Upon your face

I love to love you and call you my son
I love that you are loved by everyone
I love to see the joy you bring to others
Brought to others through the smile
Upon your face

I love you Zac, that always know
I love you, Daddy loves you so,
We all love you, and as you grow,
Please always keep that smile
Upon your face

... Love Mummy
