Being Thankful is not Always Easy

Being Thankful is not Always Easy

It is not always easy being thankful,
as we age our burdens can pile up,
when cynical or bitter,
it is difficult to see a brighter light,
yet faith is a way of seeing, of being,
based on a sober choice,
to be bitter or thankful,
a choice as well,
yet, it can feel like death to embrace
what we have, in hope, and forgive, let go,
trust.-Br.MD


I am now old, and the struggle continues the same one, yet I see its meaning—
to keep me moving forward even when I fail. I seem to be getting happier

as I age, but there is still a way to go. I am now 76, and the years go by so very fast.-Br.MD
