Be thankful for the days God gave,
be thankful for your food.
Be thankful for the hope you save,
be thankful for the good
things that mark your earthly life,
a job, a car, a home.
Be thankful for a lack of strife,
and that you need not roam
across the sea and burning land
escaping dull privation,
and in your thanks please understand
that we are yet a nation
that always offered something more,
a lamp beside a Golden Door.
Sylvia's thankful for Chihuahua friends, and ice cream.
Amen!

Happy Thanksgiving, Andrew!
