The times that are everlasting and well spent

The joy of festivities emerging from lasting events

The tides that are never yielding and roll with a riveting pace

I long for these things evermore for that's what I'm thankful for

The smoke filled journey developing from an open fire

The joy of a clear non assuming day, Isn't that what we desire

The love I have for my family and their unconditional acceptance of my being

I long for these things evermore for that's what I'm thankful for

The hope for a better and brighter future during times of despair

The strength to overcome sorrow during moments that are beyond repair

The beauty of life itself as exhibited from the birth of a new born

I long for these things evermore for that's what I'm thankful for

The joy of being employed when no jobs are avaliable

The ability to go through an open door when no other outlets are accessible

The homegoing of a love one suffering for God has provided a better place

The joyful times that I have experienced as I anticipate my day of fate

I often emerge home without incident or scar

Our mission is to compromise without incident or the threat of war

The promise for a better tomorrow is within our sight

Our daily struggle should always include a grasp for new heights

My unwillingness to stray off task and willingness to be redirected

My willingness to be distracted and unwillingness to fail despite interuption

I long for these things evermore for that's what I'm thankful for
