Being Thankful
Being Thankful
Recalling times when I knew youth
my prejudice was so uncouth
I’m thankful that I aged enough
as love outweighed that bitter stuff
when needed most I had accrued
a fortune to secure my life
but most of all I’m thankful for
to love and treat my ailing wife
To mentor souls that they may know
that God has intervened to show
his blessing and his gift to host
to aid me when it counts the most
