I am thankful for all my hard teachers.
All the mean people
all the hard times
all the disappointments
all the loss
all the grief.
I’m thankful for all that I did not get
and when I got something
unexpected,
unwanted.
I am thankful,
for these are trials,
tests,
especially tailored
to teach me,
to strengthen me.
I know that I am being called
to learn how to
hear
what cannot be heard
see
what cannot be seen.
Know what cannot be known.
I am thankful.
