A Flash 55 of Thanks
Here is a poem for Thanksgiving–dVerse Poets Pub prompt on what one is thankful for, and also, since it is 55 words, for the G-man, Friday Flash 55.
The Luck (and thanks) that come with Parenthood
What I am thankful for:
First, this birth.
(Second, their births.)
The resulting constitution–one that
Can accommodate
The sickness of babes, also of
The old; that, when faced with a dog’s
Tick, pulls it out; reaches into a blocked drain;
Cries readily, laughs quicker, allows
Itself to dance. How
Did I get so
Lucky?

Yes, the strength to be able to deal with everything that life presents itself with is something REALLY to be thankful for. (And with kids one needs that. LOL.)
