    I Noticed My Family

    I looked up tonight
    As I was baking in the kitchen 
    And I noticed my family
    All watching a show in the other room
    Nothing special, nothing unifying and new
    But as I looked up
    It was as if
    For the first time 
    I noticed
    Just how lucky I am
    My family is safe
    And warm 
    And together.
    My parents love one another
    And my brothers are both
    Still here
    We're all together 
    Who knows how many more Christmases 
    We will
    Get to be together
    Just like this 
    So for the time being
    I am soaking it all in
    And basking in the gratitude 
    For my family is here,
    Together. 
    I am so grateful I
    Glanced up from the kitchen tonight
