Things I'M Thankful For
To see a sunny sky
To hear a baby cry
For a glimpse of daylight
And a soft kiss at midnight
For a cool drink of water
And a smile from my daughter
To have the blues on the run
And to get a hug from my son
On and on there is so much more
For the stars up above
To have someone to love
To have my income tax filed
To see the eyes of a child
To have some coffee or tea
And the chance to be free
For a roller coaster ride
To watch the evening tide
These are things I'm thankful for
To ride a passenger train
And to stand out in the rain
To take a long summer's walk
Sit on the back porch and talk
To put a puzzle in place
And feel an angel's embrace
To build a bridge that won't burn
And watch a soldier's return
The list goes on, there is so much more
To attend county fairs
And to say evening prayers
To see the first robin in spring
And listen to a bluebird sing
To climb a mountain, stand and wonder
See the lightning, hear the thunder
To start everyday anew
And know that I have you
These are things I'm thankful for.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!
