A Thanksgiving Gift
The Miracle Of Life

Thank you God for the love I see
Of friends who always surround me
Thank you for the sky so blue
And bringing me a miracle or two

Thank you God, in my heart you stay
For me, it has always been just that way
Thank you God, for the food you give
On this special day I still live

Thank you God for the air I breathe
For all the flowers and all the trees
Thank you God for the birds that sing
Thank you for letting me hear
Such beautiful things

Thank you God for my voice
That so many people read
About my life, in my poetry
Thank you this Thanksgiving Day
For giving me one more birthday

Thank you most of all, for creating me
So I could get close to those in need
Thank you God for holding my hand
Now I am alive, to write again.
