Thanksgiving

What does Thanksgiving mean to you?
A holiday, a long weekend,
Turkey dinner, family party…
Well, I am sure it means more than that.

This is the first year that I celebrate Thanksgiving,
The first time I feel thankful in my life.
I am sure everybody has something that
They should be thankful for.
It might not be obvious,
Or might not even notice until we lose it.

I didn’t celebrate thanksgiving,
Because I really didn’t know
what I should thank for,
and why I should thank for.
My life wasn’t easy at all,
And I should be thankful for such difficult life.
Well, at that time the argument is a little bit shaky.
As time goes on, and I found that
Yes, I should be thankful for all the good and bad things.
It is hard to say good or bad.
Good doesn’t mean always good,
And bad might be good in the future too.

Life isn’t easy because
It takes you to the next stage of your life.
Without all these, I wouldn’t grow up.
My eye wouldn’t be as open as now.
All the challenges, difficulties, failures, bad times
Are the teachers of how to enjoy life.
Without them, I wouldn’t get to know how good is good,
And how much I should enjoy my life.
