Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving for life, health, strength and the fact that we are able to smile for a little while.
Thanksgiving for who we were, who we are and for what we're to become to see to be.
Thanksgiving for the birds that without words sing on the wing.
Thanksgiving for the children who play all day only to sleep for the Lord to keep.
Thanksgiving for a summer never to be put asunder, a fall to recall and a winter to enter, leaving spring for the angels to sing.
Thanksgiving for a human race that has grown to want more than a nuclear war.
Thanksgiving for the dutiful mother who teaches her children to yearn to learn.
Thanksgiving for the preacher who is  a teacher who shows us the way to Yahweh.
Thanksgiving for a president who dares to care for all of us to have healthcare.
Thanksgiving for the dedicated doctor who is sure to help us endure with or without a cure.
Thanksgiving for those who stand behind us when others don't and won't.
Thanksgiving for the ingenuity and creativity that we have in all of our activities.
Thanksgiving for his only begotten son who did not stop until his good deeds were done.
Thanksgiving for the prudent student whose dedication is based on the predication of education.
Thanksgiving for the kinship of friendship where those around us help us to wipe away the tears of a frown so that we can smile for a little while.
Thanksgiving for another day that we are able to kneel down to pray and for the opportunity to hear what the Lord has to say.
