Graphic By The Twisted One1

As I see others diseases, sickness, and pain
For the health I do have, I give God thanks
While walking along down the street
Sometimes I see someone crippled, without any feet

Or then there is the person sitting along the way
Having not even a home to go to today
Then in the paper we see children with many bruises
Some are living in places no living soul chooses

To see material riches if the world looks at me
There is really not much that they will see
But I have much more than can be bought with silver or gold
For God gives to me more riches than could ever be told

For there is a roof over my head, with a good place to sleep
There is always plenty of food for me to eat
I have many nice clothes that I can wear
And so many shoes that with others I share

I have so many friends and a fine family
And my wonderful "True Love" is the best there could be
As I look around in this world we live today
With all the many troubles that seem here to stay

I would like to look up and thank my God above
But for the Grace Of Him, I would not have all this love
I have much to be thankful for on Thanksgiving and every day
I never want to forget to give thanks and pray

I know I complain an awful lot, but I too am blessed, for I have at the least, a Savior and His love and promises to me.

A good reminder to us all, Ethel, to not only be thankful for what we have, but to look at others, too

Thank you for this.

Always, Alyssa

Ethel Mae, your poem of thankfulness from your own generous heart, is touching beyond words. You wrote with such emotion, openess, and honesty. Yes, you have many blessings indeed; however, those who have you in their lives are equally blessed! ~ including we Pipsters!

Peace, Love, & Harmony,
Linda

Thank you very much, Noah. You, my friend, are the special one. You always have a kind word for everyone and you are always so nice to people. Thanks for being YOU, Noah.

I hope that you had a good Thanksgiving day and
