~ As I
Look Out My Window,
This Thanksgiving ~
As
I look out my window, this
Thanksgiving
I see a child watching the snow
fall from the trees
There are children going for a
sleigh ride
If I walked in the park, all
would be silent
And I could hear, if I listened
quietly,
God talking to me
As I look out my window,
remembering
I see a child, with brown curls
down to her waist
A beautiful dress, with white
stockings and black shoes
I was a little fairy princess
With a mother who loved me too
As I look out my window, this
Thanksgiving
I see a countryside I have never
seen before
There are horses, dogs to pet,
Birds singing in the trees
There are owls and deer in the
distance
I love the life I see
As I look out my window, this
Thanksgiving
I turn my head and think
This family must know what I
would like to say
For the candle they put in their
window,
Shows me where I come from and
who I am
Then I can really see "God's Art"
on Thanksgiving Day
I thank you Jesus for giving me
Something I wanted more than any
gift could give
A new family and to live with all
You created
As I walk upon life's path
This thanksgiving, I give thanks
for the food
But, most of all, My Dear Jesus
Thank you for giving me your
heart, so I can see, at last

Do you remember me
The people's poet
If the only prayer you said in
your whole life
was, "thank you," that would
suffice.
~Meister Eckhart~
He who thanks but with the lips
Thanks but in part;
The full, the true Thanksgiving
Comes from the heart.
