Give Thanks

Give thanks for the moment of waking
Give thanks for sleeping, too
Give thanks for every breath you take
Each one is given to you

Give thanks for each morsel of bread you eat
Give thanks for every fruit
There are those all around who have not these things
Give thanks they’ve been given to you

Give thanks for water, hot and cold
Give thanks for a dry place to sleep
Give thanks indeed for the clothes on your back
Give thanks for the shoes on your feet

Give thanks for those things of everyday Life
Those things we consider our due
And if you have nothing, give thanks for that
You have nothing to burden you

Give thanks for understanding
for Love and Compassion, too
and if you can’t feel it, look in your Heart
it’s right there inside of you

Give thanks for every Blessing
Life is a Blessing for you

Give thanks for every moment of Life
it’s a Gift given to you

Life is a Gift in every way
give thanks it’s been
given to you
