National Make it Your Day

by Debi Pick Marquette

So, today, you get your own "National Day" 

 It's one day everything will go your way

 Make sure you don't choose what other's say

And let's make it fun


 For the farmers it will be National theme

And I could make them rich with just my dream

How about no calorie ice cream 

Nope, not a good try


So it's "Be yourself day," 'cause you're a great guy

You're one who makes us laugh, and sometimes cry

You are lots of fun but kinda sly

Let’s  do this once more


Now, let's make it National, "We'll all give thanks"

And not just for your money in the banks

If too much to pick from, fill in blanks

I am thankful for.................
