Someone Did It For You
In this life here upon the planet earth
there’s always something to be thankful
when we sit down and think about it
be grateful as you sit on that stool
There’s much made by someone else
maybe even so many years ago
that you are now benefiting from
even this pen and it’s ink that flow
That person who did all the making
did not know who’d enjoy it’s reward
when this would be or to how many?
even to what effect it struck a chord
But they did it for whatever reason
not knowing what was behind it all
for one day in some future time
it would make someone feel real tall
So remember all the good things
that you are blessed truly by
be thankful for the hand of craft
who had made it for you and I
