We Should Be So Thankful
We should be so thankful
For the roof that's over our head.
And not be a homeless person
Sleeping in a box instead.

A table we can sit up to
With potatoes, bread and meat.
And not being hungry all the time
And begging on the street
Plenty of clothing for us to wear
And washers to get them clean.
Clothes for winter or summer
Or anytime in between.

A bed we have to sleep in
With a pillow to lay our head.
And not just laying on the ground
And freezing cold, instead.
A car we have to drive
To go where we have to go.
To use if we go shopping
Or visit someone we know.

The freedom to go to Church
Any Church of our choice.
The freedom of free speech,
The freedom to voice our voice.
Thanksgiving Day
A special day to remember
The things we are thankful for.
The food from our bountiful harvest
Our friends and so much more.
The freedom we have in this country
Much enjoyed by you and me.
The sacrifice of troops abroad
We know freedom is not free.
Thankful for the roof over our head
And having the fuel for heat.
Clothing to wear for all seasons
And plenty of food to eat.
Being thankful if we are healthy
Something that money can't buy.
Good health is truly a blessing
Can't buy, even if you try.
We are so Thankful
We should be so thankful
To live in The Land of the Free.
We thank all those in the military
For this freedom for you and me.
We should be so thankful indeed
For the shoes upon our feet.
The clothes we have to keep us warm
And the food we have to eat.
We should be so thankful
That our bills, we are able to pay.
And thank you for the friends we have
Who help us out each day.
We should be so thankful
For the blessing received each day.
Help us all to be thankful Lord
And thank you as we pray.
Are we Thankful?
Are we thankful for our blessings?
The roof that's over our head?
The food that's on the table?
The comfort of a nice warm bed?
What about the clothes we wear,
And shoes upon our feet?
A home that we can go to,
And fuel so there is heat?
All the friends that greet us,
And those who show concern?
The teachers that are in our schools,
That help our children learn?
Are we thankful for our jobs,
That puts food upon our table?
Thankful for the knowledge,
To do what we are able?
We have much to be thankful for,
How easy it is to complain.
Be thankful for the sun each day,
And even when there is rain.
Thankful, all year
Thanksgiving isn't the only time
To share our blessings with others.
We should, many times a year
Share with our sisters and brothers.
Especially with those less fortunate
Those who have less than us.
Maybe someone who is homeless
Or has bad luck, whatever he does.
We have so much to be thankful for
And just to mention a few.
I'm thankful to have a great family
And thankful for friends like you.
All in all I am thankful
Nearly every day of the year.
A nice warm house and plenty to eat
And friends that are always near.
