Through... Thoughtful and Thankful

Through and through; I am thoughtful and thankful
O great God, I am not a great fool, so, I am grateful:
Thank you for my healthy, happy home… we’re hopeful.
Thank you for my wife, so wealthy, wise and wonderful.
Thank you for my children… so charming and cheerful.
Thank you for my juicy job and jumbo pay; I’m joyful.
Thank you for my family and fans… so friendly and faithful
Thank you for the bread and butter in my barn, so bountiful.
Thank you for my poetry pen and pad, so pleasant and powerful.
Thank you for my crown and county… so cute and colorful.
Thank you for my dad and mom, so mild, merciful and mindful.
Thank you for my world, so wide, wholesome and wonderful.
For your grace, grains, glee, glow and glory… I am so grateful…
All Through the years, I think of thy thoughtfulness; I’m thankful.
 
  ~ Thank you lord for another year in my life.~
