“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”


I am thankful and tired
I wonder what people are saying
I hear whispers in the hall and everywhere I go
I see eyes on my back as I turn to leave
I want to be left alone
I am thankful and tired

I pretend I am okay
I feel like I could sleep for days
I touch the pillow oh so very gently knowing I won't be here long
I worry about how long i'll be here in these people's way
I cry when it is brought up
I am thankful and tired

I understand you don't know how I feel
I say God has His hands on us
I dream of sleeping in my bed once again
I try to begin to thank everyone for their love
I hope they understand how much they mean to me
I am thankful and tired

My family and I were a victim of the Nashville, Tennessee flooding of May and this is my story.
