For Life And Love

And though my bones begin to ache 
          With every labored breath I take 
And energy that once implored
Has now, it seems, been run and floored
I still awake with fervent prayer 
         That what I love will still be there 

So on this cool Thanksgiving day
                 I still find that I want to say 
I’m grateful yet for life and love 
             And counting every star above
Such blessings counted short and tall
      Good fortune wished for one and all

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
