Even if we can not be together for the Holidays,
There are many things in all our lives
in which to be thankful for.
I am thankful for you !

Be Thankful Everyday

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl 
when the alarm rings each morning
Thank you Lady, that I can hear.

Even though I keep my eyes tightly closed
against the morning lights as long as possible,
Thank you Lady, that I can see

Even though I huddle in my bed, 
and put off the physical effort of rising,
Thank you Lady, that I have the strength to rise,

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic,
when socks are lost, toast is burned, and tempers are short,
Thank you Lady, for my family.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures
in the ladies magazines,
And the menu is at times unbalanced,
Thank you, Lady, for the food we have.

Even though the routine
of my job is often monotonous
Thank you Lady, for the opportunity to work.

Even though I grumble and bemoan
My fate from day to day,
And wish my modest circumstances
Were not quite so modest,
I thank you Lady, for the gift of life.
