What is There to be Thankful For?

Life is grim
The world is gray
Things go from bad to worse

The snow is unavoidable
The plumbing fixes are temporary
The tires need replaced (again)

Friends fail
Bills pile up
Kids fight
The dog does you know what in the house

There is so much to be unthankful for
But unthankfulness darkens my soul
So I’m thankful for thankfulness
Thankfulness makes my life full

Life may be tough – at least I’m alive
The world, gray today, constantly changes color
Things go from bad to worse, yet it all works together for good

The snow is coming, so I’ll enjoy its beauty
The plumbing leaks; something the Amish don’t have to worry about
The tires need replaced; that means I have wheels

Friends fail; at least I have them
Though bills pile up, I have what I need for today
The kids fight, but they do not dictate my mood
The dog? I can get rid of the dog!

There is so much to be thankful for
Thankfulness brightens my soul
Yes, I’m thankful for thankfulness
Thankfulness makes my life full
