A THANKSGIVING PRAYER
For what we have though small it
be,
We thank thee, Lord.
For the simple joys of serenity,
We thank thee, Lord.
For the gentle touch of the friendly
hand
Os those who love and understand,
We thank thee, Lord.
Os all thy gifts the greatest three
Are friendship, love and fidelity.
Let others pray for the harvest’s
yields,
For the golden grains of the fruit
ful fields,
Humbly our prayer to thee we
send
That when we’ve reached our
journey’s end.
Someone may say, “Farewell, good
friend.’’
