Notes About The Poem

For Tania Kitchin's  I Am Thankful For - Rhyme In 8 - 12 Lines Poetry Contest

___________________________________________________________________________

I Am Thankful For

Many things I am thankful for -
such as my Savior I adore.
For family I’m thankful and
all things in nature I find grand.

For food and shelter all my life
I’m thankful, and to be a wife
with kids and grand kids; they grew so fast!
Our memories are sure to last.

For students, pets, and true friends who
have brought me joy I’m thankful too.
For all I’ve got to learn and see
and poetry, God, I thank thee.
