What I'm Thankful For

Shelia West
I'm thankful for my God above.
He gives me His everlasting love.
He reaches down and takes my hand
When I stumble upon shifting sand.
So no matter where I go
He's there too, that I know.

I'm thankful for my wonderful Mother.
She loved me more than any other.
She now watches over me from Heaven above
But I can still feel the strength of her love.
So no matter where I go
She's there too, that I know.

I'm thankful for my son and daughter.
My love for them will never falter.
They are the very best of me
They are my very own legacy.
So no matter where I go
They are there too, that I know.

I'm thankful for the gift of life
Even in times filled with strife.
For I know that I've been blessed
To have been loved by the very best.
So no matter where I go
Love's there too, that I know.
