THANKSGIVING
I’m thankful for the beautiful lady, who agreed to be my wife,
For all the things she does that make this a wonderful life.
I’m thankful for the paths I’ve traveled and those that lie ahead,
For the glimpses of my boy, sleeping in his bed.
I’m thankful for all I’ve done and all I’ve yet to do,
For my wife, our love and the wonder of how it grew.
I’m thankful for this joyous day and all of nature’s ways,
For Sunday mornings under covers and her special gaze.
I’m thankful for my family and all of our dear friends,
For the all the happy moments and even the bitter ends.
I’m thankful for the road less traveled and the well-worn path,
For all my mistakes and my goofs and even all my gaffs.
I’m thankful for our freedom and our liberty,
For all of life’s silliness, and death’s dignity.
I’m thankful for the miracle of love and the miracle of birth,
For all the anger and the strife, but especially the mirth.
I’m thankful for pandemonium and serenity,
For wisdom, for foolishness and divinity.
I’m thankful for my laziness and when I have been driven,
For all the very special moments that I have been given.
I’m thankful for each moment I’ve spent with each of you,
For all the love you’ve given and everything you do.
I’m thankful for all the words I’ve said and everything I’ve done,
I may not be proud of them all, but least I’ve had some fun.
I’m thankful for when I am the lion and when I am the lamb,
I’m thankful for all these things; they make me who I am.
