I’m thankful for good health And that of all my friends I’m thankful to have my friends The many I have got I’m thankful for my wife She means so much to me Keeps me sane and well fed Is great fun and with to be I’m happy to be happy To live in this great world To see all that I have seen These days, with my girl I’m happy in my daily job It’s interesting, I’m fulfilled I’m thankful for the English language Which stirs my intellect I get to write verse at will Sometimes I connect I’m thankful for the weather California’s the place to be I’m thankful, very thankful Lucky old me
