Thank You for Small Favors

This is a poem I wrote during class when we had to write a letter to someone. I chose to write to God, and this is what I came up with.

Thank You for Small Favors
© 2007 [My real name]

Lord,
Thank you for small favors
For giving me the people in my life
For each and every one
They are the reason I live on
The reason I struggle through the pain
Thank you for the things I have
For the possessions I hold close
For the memories that flow through me
They are the things that move me away
That removes me from my past
Thank you for my love
For the two I hold much closer
For you and him
These are the two that keep me going
The hope in my dark times
Thank you for your son
For the life he gave for the blood he shed
That is why I am still alive
The reason I haven’t died
Lord,
Thank you for the small favors
And keeping me going
When I cannot stand alone
