A Season To Be Thankful

I am thankful to the Lord for each day that is dawning,
The beautiful sunrise and the hazy sunset.

I am thankful to the Lord for each evening,
Sitting on my porch alone with my memories.

I am thankful to be looked after as a senior,
The Lord has always been with me.

I am thankful to the Lord for the many blessings,
My relatives and friends who bless me with their love and kindness.

I am thankful to the Lord for a chance to dream, 
To become what I am capable of becoming.

I am thankful to the Lord for the companionship of the churches,
To sing with the choir and worship God together.

I am thankful to the Lord for the excellent traditions that make us strong,
Praise be to our Lord God.
