4 am reminders

thank you, 

for I can see

thank you, 

for I can hear

thank you, 

for I can feast

on all the sound and colour

the earth I walk

is free of mines

the fruits I eat

in long supplies

and where I sleep 

is warm and clean

all safe, all warm, all cosy

the mind I have

it can fight back

the time I waste

I might regret

the path I take

each choice I make

is mine, is free, is open

thank you,

for I am few
