Many Thanks

!!HAPPY THANKSGIVING, POETRY SOUP!! I'm thankful for sunsets, And rainbows and stars, And for ice cream and cookies, And, of course, candy bars. I'm thankful for movies, And for TV, and books, And that internet banking Is not as hard as it looks. I'm thankful I've food, And a roof, and a bed, And if I don't want to drive, I can "Uber", instead. I'm thankful for family, And for good friends I've known, For the generous love and support They have shown. I'm thankful for mental And physical health, And the myriad small things I esteem more than wealth. And even with all the turmoil In this country today, I'm still thankful I live In the U. S. of A. I will also be thankful, Until I run out of time, If I can keep trying To cheer the world up with rhyme. My thanks are ad infinitum, But to pare them down to the core, I'm simply thankful I've things I can be thankful for.

This should have been POTD for Thanksgiving, but I don't think it was. It's going right into my faves, Jim. Thanks!!

Thank you, so much, G. No, it didn't make the "cut", I'm afraid.
