Thank you for my life on this earth,
however challenging or not.
Thank you for giving me free will
to love and be loved, to make my own decisions,
to learn from my mistakes, to laugh when I am happy,
to cry when I am sad.
Thank you for my family, my friends,
my pets, and for every other living
creature I meet along my journey.
Thank you for giving me strength to overcome adversity,
to do what's right for the benefit
of the greater good, to rise above negativity.
Thank you for giving me hope for
an end to world suffering, pain, and war,
for a beginning of a world filled with light
and everlasting love.
