Happy Thanksgiving
Ken Drummond circa 1985
I am thankful for the birds that sing,
The grass that grows,
The clouds that show
Our thoughts’ reflection taking wing.
I love the crispy nights and morns,
The daffodils blooming,
The cannons booming,
The cows in the corn.
I am thankful for life and the chance to grow,
The tests and battles,
Premature death rattles,
Inspiring me to homeward go.
For beauty, peace, and love and joy,
Divine compassion ever showing,
The soul's awareness ever growing,
I give Thee thanks, oh Lord.
