"Here's to you on this blessed day,

When the children are holy and the angels are gay

Remember the family and friends that are away

Stand at the window and watch the kids play

Don't forget the men who died

the women who suffered and their children who cried

To make safe this day

to allow our babies to play

To allow us to live in any way

So don't forget to lift your head up to pray

Give to another and don't forget to say

Thank God for my home, my kids and my wife

Thank God for the food, these gifts and my life."
