Why be Thankful               music: Happyday.mid                         Last Updated 26 May 2001

Why should I pretend to be thankful
When life isn’t always so great?
The things that once seemed most important
I no longer appreciate.

Our country is filled with dissension,
The movies steeped in sin,
Kids have no respect for their elders,
They’re only instructed to win.

And yet---joyful notes of a songbird
From leaves turned to flame on a tree,
The blue of the sky quite unequaled,
Prove God’s great generosity.

The gift of a smile from a neighbor,
The voices of children at play,
If only we look for God’s wonders,
Each day can be Thanksgiving Day.
