Thankful For The Day
by Catherine Pulsifer
Once a year, every year it comes
Marching in drum by drum.
One year ends and another begins
Often time it brings a grin.
Some people are glad to see the old year go
But others feel time has gone to slow.
Some people wish time would stand still
But a thought like that gives me a chill.
You see an opportunity exists each year
To help others and bring good cheer.
Our attitude towards our time
Can be worth a dollar or just a dime.
This coming year live each day
Keep negative thoughts at bay.
Life is too short to live with regrets
Life is too short to live with big debts.
Appreciate and be content
Do not spend your time in lament.
Awake each day and always pray
Be thankful for another day.
