THE
WIFE
WHO
SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH
ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
FOR
THE HUSBAND
WHO
IS ON THE SOFA
BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS
HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.
FOR
THE TEENAGER
WHO
IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS
AT HOME,
NOT ON THE STREETS.
FOR
THE TAXES I PAY
BECAUSE
IT MEANS
I AM EMPLOYED.
FOR
THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE
IT MEANS I HAVE
BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.
FOR
THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG
BECAUSE
IT MEANS
I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.
FOR
MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK
BECAUSE
IT MEANS
I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE
FOR
A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND
GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE
IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME.
FOR
ALL THE COMPLAINING
I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE
IT MEANS
WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
FOR
THE PARKING SPOT
I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING
LOT
BECAUSE
IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING
AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED
WITH TRANSPORTATION.
FOR
MY HUGE HEATING BILL
BECAUSE
IT MEANS
I AM WARM.
FOR
THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
WHO SINGS OFF KEY
BECAUSE
IT MEANS
I CAN HEAR.
FOR
THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
BECAUSE
IT MEANS
I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.
FOR
WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES
AT THE END OF THE
DAY
BECAUSE
IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN
CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.
FOR
THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF
IN THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS
BECAUSE
IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.
AND
FINALLY, FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL
BECAUSE
IT MEANS I HAVE
FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF ME.
Live
well, Laugh often, & Love with all of your heart!
