Thankful
When thanks is the subject matter
I carefully search my heart
For gifts that clearly impart
Things that enrich, not just flatter.
Like waking to see a new day
Inhaling sweet breaths of life
Thirty-three years as a wife
Two daughters and grandkids, I pray.
When thankfulness is the center
Of your attitude year ‘round
The change in outlook’s profound
You’re open so joy will enter.
