Thanksgiving

I'm thankful for so many things
for parents, children and my siblings.

For my dog who sits and listens to me
and for the people whom daily I see.

I'm thankful for trees and leaves on the ground
that crunch when I walk and as my dog bounds.

For winter and spring, summer, and fall
and for the warm sun that shines through it all.

I'm thankful for God and his son Jesus Christ,
for prophets, apostles, and even the scriptures.
For all of the teachings from parents and leaders
given to me through writing and pictures.

For all of the times I've been directed and guided
without help from above I would be misguided.

I'm thankful to be sitting here at my table
and writing this verse because I am able
to think and to write and sit in this chair
without all of these, life wouldn't be fair.

I'm blessed everyday and wish I could sing-

Thank-you God - for everything!
