BE THANKFUL FOR LIFE
By Berime CunnittJtham1
ue day of thanks has come,
There is evidence far and near.
This is the season f??r gratitude.
Why not express it just here''
Be thankful for life!
Many may be happy over fame.
And some becaus<* of vast wealth.
Bi t you are really on top,
If you are blessed with health.
Be thankful for life!
' ^rca*" men lived in tn0 past.
The same as you and me.
But today they fail t<- answei.
