Let Me Give Thanks by jaybird1

Let me give thanks that I can share,
my home with family who care.
It gives me peace, along with rest,
within a country surely blessed.

In my home comforts never cease,
I live with safety and in peace.
I hold these blessings very dear,
as I pass through another year.

Here I can worship whom I choose,
keep all that's good, the others lose.
I'm thankful for each passing day,
a privilege sent on life's way.

When all these things are said and done,
life's still much joy, a pleasure won.
At my old age I'm proud to be
trying to write new poetry.

Author Notes
In my 96 years my upper events far outnumber the downers
and for that I am thankful- jaybird
