A Thank You Note

The streamers hang from the ceiling
And fall from my eyes down my cheeks
Air around me isn’t the same as I feel inside.
I wasn’t aware festivity and misery could coincide.
The distance of six thousand seven hundred and twenty six
Miles make things so hard for me to fix
Fix all the mistakes that I have made

[Chorus]
Even though, that day I left home feels like it was ages ago.
Even though, I miss her more than anyone could know
I realized that Life’s not all that bad

Driving on the Tennessee road at ten pm, sun roof open and stars shining in.
The city lights and headlights are like tie-dye on the horizon.
All this while I sing to the radio, and imagine it being me
Simple times like these, where one notices the trees
and see’s the beauty in the little things,
You can almost forget what has been.
And then it all comes around again

[Bridge]
Pain and change only make it easier to look for love
Through the thunderstorm flies the dove

There’s so much more that we can be thankful for
That North Korea didn’t win the war.
Or a piano and guitar singing in perfect harmony
While the drums keep on beating to their tune.
Smelling the salt water waves of the sea
while watching the sunset from a hotel room balcony.

One can’t quite capture creations beauty
or thank God enough with simple poetry.
