Every year we celebrate a day we call Thanksgiving
It’s a great reminder of the thanks we should be giving
This year, things have been different, our life was rearranged
And so, at least for us, Thanksgiving Day has changed
The love and hope and prayers, each special little gift
The miles you drove to be there all gave us such a lift
I’m sitting here this morning after saying a tearful prayer
We saw God through all of you, and knew that He was there
Yes, it’s been a year much different than any year before
We’re so filled with thankfullness, we couldn’t hold much more
We’ll eat a lot of turkey and think of family everywhere
We’re full of thanks for them, and all the love we share
Thanksgiving Day is once a year. It’s a day of gratitude
For us the day has changed. We have a different attitude
Every day will be a day of thanks, and this is what we vow
We’ll celebrate the yesterdays and be more thankful for the now!
Happy Thanksgiving to our wonderful friends and family,
Love,
Kip and Mary
