Reasons To Be Thankful

By Scarlet Starlet of the Wind

Being thankful because

I'm alive,

Being thankful because

I still thrive,

Being thankful because

I know where I should be

And I thank You

Because You love me

(---)

Being thankful because,

I still believe,

Being thankful because

I still have dreams.

Being thankful because

I know what I should have

And I thank You

Because You cared

(---)

Being thankful because,

2000 years ago,

You died to show

That You so loved the world

And You cared

And I thank You

Because of You

(---)

I'm thankful

Because of You.

Just a little bit about Thanksgiving. For all you non-American peeps, Thanksgiving is a holiday when the Pilgrims, part of an Anglican congregation in England landed on Plymouth Rock. They had absolutely nothing to eat and the Indians gave them food. Thus, the first Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was made because the Pilgrims were thankful that they had gotten food or else they would have starved. So that's the short version of the Thanksgiving story.
