THOSE by Linda Ellis (Copyright 2010)
I write, not for those thankful
for an abundance of wealth,
… for whom good fortune has blessed
their home and their health;
those who walk golden pathways
toward means and success…
a safe distance apart
from those who have less,
but instead for the people
who can see those with more
and still humbly count blessings
for which they’re thankful for;
those whose journey through life
has been far from the best,
yet consider themselves
nonetheless, blessed;
those whose open hearts give
without asking why;
those who freely share water
when their own well is dry;
those who view neighbors’ riches
without envy or greed,
nor resent them for having
much more than they need.
Let us solemnly promise
a day shall not close
without being grateful
and thankful for Those…
