I am thankful for skies of blue
Etched by soft clouds of white
The crispness of the morning dew
Beneath the dawn’s first light
The beauty found upon the shore
Bathed by the ocean’s foam
And seabirds that take flight and soar
Because they’re free to roam.

The stillness of the autumn wind
Across the leaves’ display
The warm-wishes we often send
To brighten someone’s day
The dreams that suddenly appear
Though lost, not long ago
And moments spent with those held dear
As our memories grow.

I am thankful for many things
My life has been quite blessed
Therefore, I hope this season brings
Your lives the very best
Of all the gifts I have declared
Not one could ever be
As treasured as the time we’ve shared
Or the joy you’ve brought to me.
