How Can I Be Thankful?

How Can I Be Thankful?
(A Thanksgiving poem by Wain)

Dear Beloved,

How can I be thankful
When piercing pain hurts my head?
It helps to remind me:

I’m alive, not d _ _ _.

How can I be thankful
For ugly wrinkles that show I’m old?
It helps to remind me:

Life is short, so be b _ _ _.

How can I be thankful
That I miss seeing you?
It helps to remind me:

The love I have is t _ _ _.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lots of love,

Wain
