Real Thanksgiving!

Somedays I’m tired,

Sometimes I’m sad,

Sometimes I’m happy,

Sometimes I’m glad.


Somedays everything seems to align,

Other days things fall apart 

Like I’m Chinua writing these lines,

And Living was my crime 


Somedays I have faith,

Somedays I accept my fate.

Somedays I’m proud of myself,

Somedays I’m utterly disgusted. 


Somedays I know the truth 

But I choose to believe a Lie.

Somedays I’m ready to give up

Because I don try. 


Somedays I complain 

Or live in disdain.

Somedays I cover up all my struggles 

In Jesus name.


Somedays I’m consistent,

Somedays I’m diligent.

Somedays I’m a living disappointment,

Warehousing every discouragement.


Somedays I know what to do.

Somedays I think I know what to do.

Somedays I’m lost,

Spending time recklessly not knowing the cost.


Somedays I’m good,

Everything’s going as it should.

Someday’s I question my integrity,

Or the lack thereof.


Somedays I wish.

Somedays I Pray,

That everything will make sense one day 

In Jesus Name.


Somedays it’s just in my head,

Somedays I can literally see it spread.

Buttering up overwhelm,

With multiple distractions.


Somedays I see it coming.

Somedays I willfully jump into it. 

Somedays I’m unconscious,

And I forget that you’ve made me Righteous.


Somedays I’m quick to forget, 

Somedays I’m to slow to remember 

How faithful You are & have been to me

How everyday is already an answered prayer.


My days are fragile & volatile,

My days are numbered & limited,

The length of my days is nothing before You

But You choose to be with me everyday!


Everyday I’ll thank you 

Everyday I’ll sing Your praises 

Irrespective of how my day went

Disregarding my feelings 

Just to say Thank You!

To the one who is with me Everyday!
