A Thanksgiving Prayer

By June Swanson

There is so much to say today;

I don’t know where to start.

How can I begin to tell

The thanks that fill my heart?

Should I begin with family

Or love or joy or sunlight

Or peace or health or happiness

Or home or birds or starry nights?

For all these things and many more,

I thank Thee, Father dear.

But most of all I thank Thee

For always being near.
