Thankfulness

We set aside one day each year

To celebrate our thankfulness;

An admirable affirmation of

The blissful grace we savor.

 

A prayer for all the bounty and

The blessings, softly offered up,

Before a feast of plenty gives me

Cause to seek His favor.

 

Grateful for the joyful comfort

In this crazy, karmic world,

Hopeful for a bright tomorrow

Fanciful with filigree.

 

Crazed to praise the hand of fate

And faith that makes things possible,

Knowing that the love I give will

Find its way back home to me.

 

Makes me wonder wistfully

As I saunter life’s highway.

If ‘tis comely once-a-year,

Why not be thankful every day.
