Let us all be thankful
For being here today
With all the wonderful people
That we've met along the way

Let us all be thankful
For every up and down
That we all had to battle through
And eventually got around

Let us all be thankful
For the living and the dead
May they all rest in peace
While we move on ahead

Let us all be thankful
For every single thing
For the past and the present
And what the future will bring

Let us all be thankful
For those who came this way
To celebrate Thanksgiving
With us here today

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

Favorite Quote:
"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
