Isabella-Humphreys Middle School-Humphreys, Korea

I am grateful for many things.

I am grateful for the roof above me,

For the shoes on my feet,

For the food that I eat,

And for the bed that I sleep.

I am grateful for many things.

I am grateful for the family I have,

For the love that I’m given,

For the toys which I play,

And for the water I drink.

Some things I am not grateful for, like bugs and mice.

The snows cold ice,

The boiling summer days,

And the mean folks, who are never pleasant to be with.

Some things bring joy to my life,

Like my sister,

My friends,

And especially desserts. Those are enjoyable.

I am grateful for the places I go,

Like Hawaii

The park,

And here! Though we have to wear masks, I like the place.

I am grateful for the talents I have,

Like my double jointed thumbs,

My baking skills,

And my art skills, I would always draw my friends, old and new.

I am grateful for the holidays that I get,

Like Easter,

That one amazing Christmas,

And April Fools Day. I never got pranked, I was the one pranking people.

I am grateful for the things around me,

Like that printer beside me,

The candy in the “take one” jar,

And this amazing planet we call home. I wish I could see all of it.

I am grateful for the things I ride,

Like cars,

Bikes,

And rollerblades. Pillows on your butt was a common thing to do.

I am grateful for the food I eat,

Like chicken,

Cheese,

And broccoli. I never liked the flavor, but I liked eating tiny trees.

I am grateful for many things.

I am grateful for the world,

I am grateful for myself,

And for you. The amazing person that read this far. Thank you.
