THANKSGIVING LESSON
Gratitude lesson reigns indeed
learned by my child with special need
teaching me to show
“thank you” with a glow
when I don’t smile at his good deed.
Thanksgiving* bliss must then prevail
to vanquish pride that does assail
as my son reminds
since he really finds
that I forget, and sometimes fail.
*Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
