To He who is all powerful, thanks for the many <br />blessings you have bestowed on me. <br /> <br />To those I love, thanks for all you do. <br /> <br />To my friends, thanks, for teaching me the <br />meaning of friendship. <br /> <br />To those I have angered, thanks for your patience <br />and your understanding. <br /> <br />To those I have disappointed, thanks for your <br />forgiveness. I'll try to do better. <br /> <br />Thanks, to the strangers along life's path, for <br />their kindness. <br /> <br />Thanks, to those who do for others and remain <br />without acknowledgement. <br /> <br />Thanks, for the charity of others, extended to <br />those who are less fortunate. <br /> <br />Thanks, to those of differences, who arrive <br />at the point of compromise. <br /> <br />Thanks, to all in their journey of life, who <br />attempt to make this, a better world. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-thousand-thanks/
