I Am Thankful

I am thankful for my doggy and my cat

And my teddy bear so furry, soft and fat,

I am thankful for soft kittens

and my nice warm woolen mittens

And my swing set and my baseball and my bat

I am thankful for my crayons and my books

And the way our brand new baby smiles and looks,

I am thankful for potatoes

and for juicy ripe tomatoes

And for all the tasty food that mommy cooks.

I am thankful for my mommy and my dad,

They both love me whether I am good or bad,

I am thankful for the flowers

and refreshing summer showers,

All the pretty things around me make me glad.
