Be Thankful

By : Aya Emam

Be thankful for having a home

Many people sleep on the street

Be thankful even if you are alone

You don't know in the future who you will meet

Be thankful even if you feel down

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Be thankful and don't you ever frown

Keep a smile on your face and destroy your anger

Be thankful for having parents who are sweet

Others have parents who are heartless

Be thankful for having them even if they beat

Orphans can tell you how without them they feel helpless 

Be thankful for having food

Many people suffer from hunger

Be thankful for having a good mood

Others are depressed and their pain is a strong thunder

Be thankful when you feel pain

It means that you are still alive

Be thankful that you are not insane

Tough life cause insanity to arrive

Be thankful even If you fail

Others don't even have the chance to try

Be thankful for having a brain

That handicaps don't have and die

Be thankful when you make a mistake

Without mistakes you will never learn

Life never stops it's like a lake

And every minute you waste cannot be returned

Be thankful for everything you have

Be thankful for everything you own

Because if you don't

You will regret it when it's all gone

Yes, there is always something to be thankful for.  So Allah, thank you for everything that you have given me and not given me. For everything that you gave or about to give, there's a purpose. Thank you so much for everything. <3

                                                

                                                           Thankful,

                                                                                 Myra
