Thanksgiving Prayer

THANKSGIVING PRAYER


I thank THEE Oh, LORD
For 
All the treasures, THOU HAST
So generously upon me
Bestowed:
My life
My sight
My Hearing
My touch
My scent 
My taste 
My arms
My legs
My brain and every other
Organ, 
Treasures of worth untold
That
Money couldn’t ever buy 

Forgive my, LORD,
My egoism
My ingratitude
My greediness 
My complaining
My insatiability
My forgetfulness,  

If only THY charity was I able  
To remember
And
The multitude of unfortunate ones
That is not as blessed as I,
Every second should I THEE, for life,
Thanksgiving offer 
Rather
Only once a year!
