More Thankful

I do not wish to graduate
Too early from the school of life
For I know that there is much to learn
Though I constantly bemoan the struggles
I know that they are my greatest teachers
I need to have them here
An easy, trouble free life a seeming anomaly
Why do we compare our hardships and difficulties
Instead of our triumphs and success?
The sunshine and rainbows of life
Perhaps if we tried that
We’d have more to be thankful for
