Be Thankful

This is a new day.
The sun is shining bright.
So take the troubles
That you have
And put them out of sight.

Be thankful for the blessings,
Many have come your way.
You have so much to be thankful for!
So be happy on this day.

Be thankful for your friends.
And your family, too.
To them, you are so special.
They love and care for you.

So forget about your troubles.
Throw them all away.
Think of your many blessings.
And appreciate this day!
