This Is The First Thanksgiving
This is the first Thanksgiving
That you are not here
I try not to think about it
Because my eyes start to tear
Things have changed drastically within this year
The kids have grown
Some have gotten married
Had kids of their own
People have passed away
Some have divorced
Others have moved on
Some have claimed their one true love
Moved to the North
Moved to the South
To raise their families
Or to forget what family once was all about
This is the first Thanksgiving without you
I sometimes still miss your face
I will try to be thankful
Try to smile and laugh
Hold my head up high
Thinking good thoughts of what used to be
You and I
Prayerful thoughts of what is yet to come
A future made brighter than it once was
Where families stayed together forever
Never to part
Is what I pray
With all my heart
