Thanksgiving:
Counting Your Joys
This Thanksgiving...

Count your joys instead of your woes,
Count your friends instead of your foes,
Count your full years instead of your lean,
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean,
Count your blessings instead of your crosses,
Count your gains instead of your losses,
Count your smiles instead of your tears,
Count your courage instead of your fears.

Care less for your harvest
Than for how it is shared,
And your life will have meaning,
And your heart will have peace.

For the sun and the dew and the sweet honeycomb,
For the rose and the song and the harvest brought home,
For the hay and the corn and the wheat that is reaped,
For the labor well done and the barns that are heaped...
Thanksgiving!

For the craft and the trade and the skill in our land,
For the cunning and strength of the working man's hand,
For the good that our artists and poets have taught,
For the friendship that hope and affection have brought....
Thanksgiving!
