Then and Every Day
How wonderful it is to take the time,
a special holiday to just give thanks
to think of all you have that is a blessing
and ponder great and small the earthly bounty.
We look at all the glory in the world,
the harvest and the golden leaves that die
and cherish autumn in a special way
by giving thanks to God for all the beauty.
Thanksgiving is a special thought to have
to think of health and just plain happiness,
for everyone will not have warmth and food
and we must keep in mind all human beings.
Gratefulness is what it’s all about.
A must within the heart that does give thanks.
We’re happy it’s thanksgiving now and then
but mindful of our blessings every day.
