Every Moment

This poem was written for Thanksgiving. It primarily revolves around gratitude, family, and my own philosophical reflections.

Every moment that led up to this point
From the moment I emerged from the womb
To the moment that is occurring right now
Has its reasons to be appreciated.

Every moment when there was trouble
Every moment when there was a struggle
I may not look back on with fondness
But I understand it made me stronger.

Every moment when I was oppressed
I knew my family was there for me
And I was there for my family
Even through our own political conflicts.

Every moment that I ever witnessed
I always thought to myself
That there’s no one I’d rather be
Than my own self in my own body.

Every moment occurring in the future
From now until the day I die
Though I know it will never be certain
I will find something to appreciate.
