Thankful by Doris Washington
Let's be thankful for the times we come together
Not only for the holiday feast,
The Turkey,
The dressing,
And the pumpkin pie,
But also to cherish the time
In seeing each other again,
Till the time we come together-Again.
Let's be thankful
And remember it's the moments we share,
The Love we give,
The Love of family,
The Love of friends,
Near or far.
Let's be thankful for every moment,
For each day,
And remember as we give to others in need,
We too will be blessed.
For its the Love of family,
The Love of friends,
And the Love of Giving.
Let's Be-
Thankful
