Remembrance

 Thankful for the day 

And the moon stations

Thankful for the hunger

Thankful for family 

Raising from their own joys and darkness 

Building life through the red cord to my roots

Thankful for the other family

A new mom, dad and siblings 

Thankful for the gaze at other lands which is our land

Thankful for the name changing at each step

Baby, girl, woman

Thankful for the challenges that elevate us to our gifts

Always, always thankful for the gift.

Thanks to the friendships that stayed and the ones that left. 

In purpose, thankful, lifted.
