Virginia Beach, VA

We are truly fortunate
To have so much that we can
Have so much to complain about

The love of others
Work in our chosen field
Our beautiful homes
An abundance of food
Our health, our senses
Our mobility, our freedom

The freedom to complain and to have
A complete lack of gratitude

We are blessed to have the chance to
Wake and rise
Stub our toes, wipe sleep from our eyes
Gripe about warm coffee

We are lucky we are given the chance
To change our tune and be thankful
To have the life we have been given.
