With gratitude, and due respect
to those who've yet to collect debts
I thank my friends for being there,
and thank goodness I'm breathing air.

Through troubled times, to times of blessing
It's good things that I'm now addressing.
I'm thankful for the love I've gained,
and wishing well to friendships strained.

I'm hoping that your days are safe,
and you avoid bad fortunes chafe.
May love ever be your best guide,
and serendipity coincide.
