Array ( [sid] => 27829 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Thankful [time] => 2003-11-24 14:37:40 [hometext] => Happy Thanksgiving! [bodytext] => Thankful

I have a lot to be thankful,
This holiday season.
Let me take a few seconds,
To tell you the reason.

God has blessed me,
With so very much.
Great health, Wonderful family,
Loving home and such.

Unfortunately I don’t always that the time,
To thank him for his deeds.
Yet he seems to always,
Meet my every need.

Selfishly I return little,
In return for his grace.
If it was called on the table,
I turn my face in disgrace.

Sadly it takes a holiday,
To realize my shortcoming.
Hopefully next year,
I hit the ground running.

Happy. I guess this is nice. I would have enjoyed some irony or a metaphor or something but what the hey?
