WHAT I AM THANKFUL FOR

by David Knape

For my family
(gathered around the table)
for my lovely wife
(who spent hours in the kitchen)
for our good health
(physically & Mentally)
for a home
(when so many are homeless)
for e-mail
(so I can write these poems)
for my mom & dad
(who I think of often)
for my old age
(whoever thought I would achieve it)
for the government
(so I can cuss it)
for Texas
(native born and proud of it)
for the USA
(with freedom for all)
for those who read this
(who contribute their thoughts)
and for all those who have gone before
(who paved the way)
we all have so much
to be thankful for
be grateful for Life itself
this Thanksgiving Day.
