Blissful thoughts this Thanksgiving
Of simple gifts for lively living
Burbling waters of mountain brooks
Shakespeare sonnets and classic books
Hiking trails, city Park
Hugs and kisses in the dark
Cotton candy at the Texas Fair
Haunted houses, a squeaking stair
Warm blankets, acoustic guitars
Moon beams and winking stars
Watermelons and picnic tables
Slate roofs and gothic gables
Romantic poets and Wesley hymns
Working out in fancy gyms
Summer grass in valleys growing
Autumn leaves in oak trees blowing
Soft snow falls on winters’ day
Spring showers, kids at play
Football, baseball and basketball
With each season we love them all
Hook ’em horns, cheering Ags
Lone Star State for Texan brags
Texas Christian Horn Frogs
Marshmallows and hotdogs
Slowing down, wasting time
Shiner Bock and fancy wine
Hamburgers, steaks, barbecue
Catered lunch with a movie crew
Sense of humor, witty jokes
Liberal arts, country folks
Camp fire songs and butterflies
Cozy nights and loving eyes
High school dances, hay rides
A rocking chair mesmerize
Robed choir,  church steeple
Exhorting preacher, praying people
Second chances, humble resolution
God’s good grace, blessed absolution
