Many Thanks

If you can see, if you can walk,
If you can hear when others talk,
If you have children, even those
With adolescent ways and woes,
If you have food enough to eat,
But skip expensive cuts of meat,
If you’ve a coat for when it’s cold
Though maybe out of style and old,
If you have friends, the kind who care,
If you have health, though only fair,
If you can think of someone who
Is just a bit worse off than you,
And have some cash, but not a bank full,
You’ve ample reason to be thankful.
