Notes About The Poem

Be thankful for all you have.

Be Thankful

Be Thankful
By Franklin Price

Be thankful you're still breathing
That your head's above the ground
That you still have friends and family
That are glad that you're around

Thankful food's upon your table
That  a roof's above your head
That your stomach is not empty
Under a bridge is not your bed
