Some people give thanks for potatoes
They eat them day upon day;
They grow them and buy them,
They skin them and fry them,
They, being a potato gourmet.
Some people give thanks for ripe apples
As red as a morning sunrise;
They bake them and stew them,
Or bite them and chew them,
They even put them into pies.
Some people give thanks for the chickens
Cackling and clucking about;
A food store on legs,
Producing fine eggs,
Worth every penny shelled out.
Some people give thanks for their friendship
To know a good friend is sublime;
Deference to make,
To give and to take,
Someone to respect all the time.
But I give thanks for my eyesight.
For my heart, I also revere;
You\'re one to look up to,
I see you and love you,
So I offer my thanks that you\'re here.
