I'm thankful for my family
who's always there for me
I'm thankful for the trees
They give me oxygen to breathe
I'm thankful for my working limbs
Giving me abilities some are not blessed with
I'm thankful for the pain
that makes it's absence so great
I'm thankful for hot guys, and material things
and a line in a poem about them
that shatters my self righteousness
