Thank You, In Advance

[Verse]

I write thank-you notes for things I haven't gotten yet,

for lessons I'll learn and people I haven't met.

Gratitude ahead of time changes how you walk today,

you start looking for the gifts already on their way.

I'm thankful for the doors that closed before I could see,

they were just making room for better ones to greet me.

I'm thankful for the waiting, even when it felt too long,
