Be thankful for the joys of life, 
like family and friends.
Be thankful for the tough times, 
and that God's mercy never ends.

Be thankful for the lessons learned, 
they will help you through tomorrow.
Be thankful for the experience, 
Both of joys and sorrows.

Be thankful for the trials, 
They will help you on your way.
Be thankful for the days of peace, 
They do not come every day.

Be thankful for the things that you've come to expect.
Be thankful of who you are for you can never be perfect. 

For the things we take for granted, 
for the things we do not see,
For the life that we've been given, 
Thankful is what we should be.
