Looking Back In Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tonight I offer up some thanks

That I want you to hear,
I thank you for the year that’s past
And for the coming year.
I thank you that the way, when rough,
Was travelled at your side,
And in each storm, beneath your wing,
I had a place to hide.
I thank you for the days of rain
Though dreary, they brought life,
And thank you for the strength that comes
Through facing care and strife.
Although my best plans fell apart,
Yours never seemed to fail,
And when I doubted my own strength
I knew yours would prevail.
 
So, before we start a new year,
I thank you for this one.
I’m glad I thought to tell you that
Before it was all done!
