Thankful, I am thankful, For my wife, My companion, For her love, For the children Whom she bore, For their smiles And their hearts, I am thankful. Grateful, I am grateful, For family, My society, For a legacy, For a myriad Of siblings, For aunts and uncles And cousins, I am grateful. Blessed, Oh, I am blessed! With a church, My brethren, With freedom, With a lifetime of Preventing grace, With wealth material And spiritual, I am blessed.
