As I sit here, 

making my way through life, 

I look out to see all the people I've ever known. 

As I look out,

I wonder. 

As I wonder,

I think about how every single one of those people has their own lives, 

their own wishes,

their own way to move through life,

And I become thankful.

As I am thankful, 

I thank that I am able to be here,

Instead of somewhere else,

Hurting someone, 

Being hurt by someone, 

Or anything in-between.

As I am thankful, 

I thank that I have the ability to read,

The ability to be able to create worlds,

And destroy others. 

As I am thankful, 

I wonder, 

I look out,

And I sit here, 

Thinking that even though I am one person,

With my own thoughts,

And my own wishes

There are other people, 

With their own thoughts,

And their own wishes, 

And I am at peace.
