I’m grateful to wake up Today rested for work

Doesn’t mean I don’t

Want to fervently Wake and create Completely free To be me I’m grateful to have a Car Doesn’t mean I won’t

Ride into a horizon of New possibilities No limits No boundaries I’m grateful for my Rooftop view of breathtaking clouds Doesn’t mean I don’t want to have a deck Overlooking the pine Trees and the awe inspiring snow capped Mountains I’m grateful to have this Season of solitude to become more Enlightened

That doesn’t mean I don’t want to be in love and travel the world with her I’m grateful to build our legacy brick by brick

That doesn’t mean we won’t one day stand on The Wall of Greatness That can be seen From space I’m grateful that I have a job but my pregnant imagination will birth a new life for us I’m grateful for

Today but Yesterday has to die So my future can Fly. This is my 15th story for August. What a prolific month it’s been. I want to thank everyone for the support and riding on this journey with me. I’m grateful and this visionary’s vision is just beginning.
