As Thanksgiving time approaches
I find myself reviewing
What my years have given me
Three score and more can I claim
Each a mix of blessings and sorrow
Challenges and triumphs
Wins and losses
Highs and lows
But through it all
I’ve never been truly alone
Anchored by family and friends
Bolstered by faith
I’ve kept moving forward
Adding each new day
To life’s memory banks
Stockpiling the good
Letting go of the bad
Always grateful for the fact
I’ve made it this far at all!
