Poetry: What I'm thankful for

by Kathleen Sihock

Created on: November 07, 2009

On Thanksgiving we all give thanks,

for the gifts that God has gave.

They might not be a monetary

But, they are gifts that are necessary.

Like the gift of the smile in your childs eyes

The loving family and friends by your side

The roof you have over your head

The comfort of a nice warm bed

The food we have at our table to eat

When so many others we cannot feed

The health of your children, is a blessing

It's these things that we all seem to be missing

We take them for granted everyday

Be thankful for them because in a moment

They could be taken away.

Remember to give thanks for these everyday things

Because you never know what tomorrow can bring.
