Attitude of gratitude 

Once a year we take a day

To bow our heads and say

Thank you for the many blessings

That we have received and we pray.

 

We have so much to be grateful for,

But we are always working so hard

We forget To say “thank you” to all the ones

Who help us every day.

 

It really helps to appreciate

All the blessings in our lives,

Our friends, our loved ones and our family

All play their roles and do their part.

 

So we take a day to pause

And gather our loved ones near

And we celebrate the bounty

In our lives and all that help us here.

 

And we thank God for Divine grace

That saves us in more ways than we know

And the gift of this precious Creation

And for this Earth that feeds us and what it bestows.

 

And we remember an attitude of gratitude

Makes our burdens lighter and it shows

That we should really say “thank you” and appreciate

The many blessings from all the seeds we sow.

 

And it might be a good idea

To start every single day

And end each night before we sleep

To say “Thank you, God” for the gifts we reap.
