Thanksgiving

What am I thankful for

I went to see an old friend today 1 who I hold dear

Thinking bout some things I almost let out a tear!

Cause see when I was a baby the doctors made it real clear

I wouldn't live past my 5^th year!

 

My Brothers locked up and 1 a day before Thanksgiving

Mama crying

His life over before he even start living

Daddy left and that aint worth reliving

Mama working 2 jobs just to make the cost of living

On Christmas no toys no extra money for spending

Then to find out mama got cancer that's unforgiving

 

Despite everything that me and my family been through

The days that it stormed, and you made the sky blue

The things that don't make sense and the things taboo 

A life that to others that may be a little undue

For the life I lived and the one I will pursue

For every bird, every pig, every cow, and every vegetable I chew

For my family and every friend that I ever knew

To everyone who has loved ones up there with you

I just want to take time out and really I have to

Say

Thank You!

Despite of what have been happening, there's always something that is worth the trouble

On the other hand, it's all good here...

I like this one. its one thing to praise Him in the good times, but it takes real Faith to see Him in the hard times too. :)

And this line "For every bird, every pig, every cow, and every vegetable I chew" made me smile. haha
