LifetimeThankfulness

Positives to Be Thankful for in Times of Turmoil

Annamarie
Arrived at 3.1 lbs 2.5 months early screeching with a hardy laugh
Blessings from creators, families, and hospital staff

Started life as a preemie unaware of diagnosis at hand
Never knowing prognosis only that we can

Survived through love, high quality care, and prayer
Believed in the impossible recovery and clean air

Determination of hope to live in spite of doubts
Survival due to sustaining discovery of power of thoughts

Never knowing that death was close
Knowing life as only a few breaths away never close

Struggling through weak body and low vision all my life
Defending skeptics and realizing bounty in strife

I am thankful for my 64th birthday
Grateful to all who taught me to live not prepare to die on my first day
