Dollar Short

November sixth Five days missed Journaling about what gratitude is

I write with a grateful heart Arrived late for the race Still a start

Watch all the people explore Boundaries they can push Fear at the core

I could list all the ways I am grateful I could promise I will always be faithful

Like to play Turn the table

I am two-faced One of them grateful Other disgraced

If I didn’t have two faces I couldn’t expose the side that’s tasteless Can I erase this

Start over Luck of the Irish Four leaf clover

Two people wrapped in one A narcissist A loaded gun Either one

I will be a good girl today Grateful heart God I pray

Grateful for the laughter Grateful for the happily ever after

Grateful for the roof over my head Grateful that I’m not yet dead

Even if I go tomorrow I’m grateful for the time borrowed

I love you God Grateful you created me Different, odd

I’m grateful for all the support A day late A dollar short Gratitude for my retort
