Hey guys!! So, for this week's prompt for 'The Thinky Ink-Scriber's Club', we had to write a sonnet about something that we're thankful for. I do struggle with the strict rhyming scheme of sonnets in general, and I'm definitely no William Shakespeare - so I'm aware this probably isn't my best poem so far. I really do hope you guys enjoy though and if you do, please feel free to drop a vote and/or comment  :) xx

I am thankful for the gift of time

through which all things eventuate;

for too often we, humans, commit the crime

of allowing moments to go to waste.

I am grateful for this precious gift;

even in it's fleeting presence,

for it is the tendency of seconds to be too swift

that urges us to make lifetimes of mere moments.

I am thankful for the gift of time

as I sit alongside his hospital bed,

so typical of my heart's icy clime

to only love that of which I have little left...
