So many times I've stopped to ponder
On life's challenges I face
Confused and sometimes frightened
With the choices that I've made
I try to live HIS spoken word
From the Teachings that HE'S given
But sometimes find myself disgruntled with the life that I am live'n
So many times on bended knee
Before the LORD, I make my plea
That I might see those little things
GOD'S greatest gifts HE'S given me.
A rainbow on a cloudy day
Or silver lining to brighten my way
A Mother and Father are always there
With nurturing love, they unselfishly share
Little children with eyes so bright
Smiles that warm me with sheer delight
Friends and family – some passed on
Memories shared will never be gone
The things we learned of history told
Of life and struggles and love unfold
With each new day, and each New Year
May I recall those things most dear
So at this time of our Thanksgiving
When I've stopped to ponder how I'm living
Many times on bended knee
Will I thank GOD for blessing me?
