Thanksgiving

Precious gift of life
Our most cherished son
May you overcome all strife
And we always be at one

From I am to who shall I be
Only time will tell
Learn from what you see
Think clear live well

Life is hope and strength of will
Make your dreams come true
In adversity remember still
Love can see you through

Life is sacred use it well
If you can, then lead
If not, let others tell
But only goodness heed

You are tomorrow and the years to come
We pass the cup to you
Make a difference darling son
But think of others in all you say and do
