GRATITUDE
I thank you for these gifts, dear God,
Upon Thanksgiving Day --
For love and laughter and the faith
That bids me kneel and pray.
For life that lends me happiness,
And sleep that gives me rest;
These are the gifts that keep my heart
Serene within my breast.
Love, laughter, faith and life and sleep,
We cherish every one --
They carry us along the road
That leads from sun to sun.
