BEING THANKFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE
WE ARE ALL IN CONTROL OF OUR LIVES
WE CAN CHOOSE TO SMILE OR FROWN
EVEN WHEN THINGS ARE AT THEIR WORST
I WILL NOT LET THEM GET ME DOWN
I’VE HAD LOT’S OF THINGS HAPPEN
THINGS THAT HAVE MADE ME VERY SAD
BUT I WILL KEEP ON REMINDING MYSELF
TO BE THANKFUL FOR ALL THAT I’VE HAD
FOR BEING RAISED BY A WONDERFUL MOTHER
HAVING HER STRENGTH PASSED ON TO ME
GIVING ME HER LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING
SHOWING EXAMPLES OF HOW STRONG I COULD BE
HAVING MY EYES SO I WAS NOT BLINDED
MY EARS SO I COULD HEAR
MY LEGS TO KEEP ME WALKING
SO FAR AWAY PLACES WERE ALWAYS NEAR
THE BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE TO LIFT MY SPIRITS
TO HAVE THE SUNSHINE ON MY FACE
TO KNOW THAT A NEW DAY HAS JUST STARTED
AND THAT A SUNSET WILL TAKE ITS PLACE
A LIFETIME OF WONDERFUL MEMORIES
FROM EVERY TURN IN THE ROAD
FOR THE STRENGTH TO BE ABLE TO WALK FORWARD
AND THE STRENGTH TO CARRY MY LOAD
WHEN I GET BOMBARDED WITH SADNESS
I’LL PICK A MEMORY FROM MY PAST
I’LL CHOOSE THE SUNRISE OR SUNSET
AND PUT MY SADNESS TO REST.
