Thankful
I am thankful for The Moon and the Stars The Sun and the Earth below, The mountains and the valleys The ocean, the lakes, the rivers, And the streams that flow. I am thankful for The trees that give fruit And the ones that do not so, For their beauty is all year long, Their green branches give me Shade in a hot summer day, Their lovely flowers and sweet Perfume awaken my senses In a spring afternoon, In the fall, their leaves full Of color remind me of the rainbow. I am thankful for The birds and their young, And all the living things Including the beasts free to roam, For they are all part of this Beautiful world that That I want to love and know! I am thankful for The children that cry And the children that glow, For their mothers and their fathers, Their aunts, uncles and grandparents, Who love them so? May all children of the world be loved as they grow!
