'What I'M Thankful For This Year' Poem by Linda Winchell

Now when someone asks you to share
what you are thankful for this year.
Are you going to give them a list or two?
or just one thing that you've found thankful dear?

I think I'd not have enough of time
to share all I'm thankful for.
My friends, my God, my children and husband
and so very many blessings more.

The list keeps adding up you see
the more years that I'm alive.
I might have started out with just four on my thankful list
now I've at least, one hundered and ninety five!

I'm thankful for the air that I breath
And the sight God gave my eyes.
I'm thankful to hear the birds that sing
and thankful for the stars that light my sky.

I'm thankful that I'm just thankful!
for there are a lot of them who are not.
I'm thankful for all I have been given you see
and thankful for all that I have not!
