Give Thanks

Give Thanks By Franklin Price 11/26/2105 Give thanks, be grateful Pilgrim As through this life you pass. Treat others well so you will like What's in the looking glass. Mirrored there so you can see Reflections of your soul, The way you've lived, what you've become How you have paid the toll. See the face that's looking back A wrinkle here and there A scar from some small accident A receding line of hair See teeth that may not be yours But still chew what you eat In a mouth that is still working To say hello to friends you greet See ears that still can listen To what others say and do Be grateful you still hear them And they're speaking still to you See a face that's ever changing Give thanks it's looking back For the eyes that are reflecting Could be only seeing black

You make me happy that you see it that way; for that was the way it was meant.
