Thanksgiving

Thanks some how seems not enough How can I show my appreciation? A smile a hug Now is the time while you are with us Kissing these hands that have held me and wiped my tears Smiles you have given to me Gift of life I am who I am in no small part because of you Very few mom's will ever compare I am so blessed to know this kind of love Now because of you I know what it is to love and be loved Great gifts like these require thanks, some how it doesn't seem enough. Counting your Blessing Contest
