An Ode To My Body: Thankful For You

By:Maile Naone

I am thankful for the hair on my head that I can style both straight or curly

I am thankful for my long eyelashes because I don't have to use a curler

I am thankful for my eyes so that I can see the beauty of the world

I am thankful for my nose so that I can smell the April showers that bring May's flowers

I am thankful for my mouth so that I can speak my mind

I am thankful for my smile because it makes a difference in someone's world

I am thankful for my ears so that I can hear the voices of my loved ones

I am thankful for my fingers so that I can play my clarinet

I am thankful for my hands so that I can hold the hand of my future husband

I am thankful for my arms so that I can hug those around me

I am thankful for my  toes so that I can have the balance to walk

I am thankful for my feet so that I can wear the latest fashions

I am thankful for my legs so that I can march in The Pride

I am thankful for my hips that allow me to do a beautiful hula

I am thankful for my heart because it is filled with a lot of love to give

I am thankful for my compassion so that I can help people in need

I am thankful for my outgoing personality because I'm not as shy as I seem

I am thankful for my laughter so that the room is filled with joy

I am thankful for my life because I am blessed in so many ways

These are the things that make me who I am and I am thankful for who I am as a whole
