I Thank

I thank the sun ... The soil, the summer rain, I thank the apple tree The fields of golden grain I thank the corn crops And the pumpkin patch, I thank the warm barn Where new poults hatch I thank Tom turkey ... From down on the farm, And the good old farmer Who caused him no harm I thank the potato fields And the pecan trees, I thank the earth ... For bogs of cranberries I thank this land ... The sky and the air, For giving all of us These things to share.
