Giving Thanks
To give thanks for a life given
May be all that we need today.
From bitter years born out of need
The U.S. has shown us the way.
May be all that we need today
Or is there something else we need?
Our pain gave us the will to live
How do we go to plant that seed?
From bitter years born out of need
Was planted a crop for harvest.
A crop that stood the test of time
Harvest was good...but the world's best.
The U.S. has shown us the way
Its spirit is what we should heed.
"Thanksgiving" is not far away
Thankful voices will sing God's creed.
