Thanksgiving Every Day
Every day’s Thanksgiving while I am on this earth,
living life with gratitude for all its grace and worth.
Every day’s Thanksgiving while I have food to eat.
I can prepare whatever I like or give myself a treat.
Every day’s Thanksgiving while I can walk, talk, see and hear,
and live in a land where falling bombs aren’t a fear.
Every day’s Thanksgiving for I have a place called “home,”
where I can cross the threshold into my ‘’private zone.’’
Every day’s Thanksgiving for people that I love,
safe, secure, blossoming and blessed from above.
Every day’s Thanksgiving as I have a grateful mind,
to offer God appreciation for life’s beauty that I find.
