I am Grateful for The ones we savedThe moments when the first drops fallWhen I shineHow the wind moves the trees That crisp crunch of crispy leaves A pile of blankets to bury below When I can sit doing nothingThe postponed testThe connections I hold dear and those I’ve had to let goMusic to get me through the tough times These chances to understandThe sunny days with the perfect breeze Memories The rainy nights with the perfect entertainment in the warmthThat book that brought tears to my eyesFor this moment and for each that came before and those that are yet to comeThe beach with the jetty that is just a short walkTo see and to hearThe 3 cottages and the memories that have come with themThe one artist who has a song and a lyric for every situation A warm breeze The friend who has stuck by my side through everythingThe worst day of 2024 not happening 3 days later.
