Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day will soon be here. Our thanks list we prepare. Forgive us for the grief we feel At one more empty chair. You never promised we’d be free Of sorrow and of woe. You pledged only you’d be with us As through the trials we go. At each sad step we took, dear Lord We felt you by our side. We are grateful for your presence In all the times we’ve cried. Now although we are all missing His presence and his smile, We are thankful that you lent him For just that little while. Our hearts are full of thankfulness For all things You have given. And for the one whom we so loved, Who’s with you now, in Heaven.
