November: 2018

Gratitude and thankfulness are practically interchangeable in meaning.  But since “thanksgiving” is easier to say than “gratitude giving” we have “Thanksgiving Day.”  So to thank, celebrate, and remember, not a short story but a song.

Gratitude

  (Melody—“You Raise Me Up”—sung by Josh Groban, Celtic Woman, and others.)

 

When I was just a young and callow fellow,

Not knowing, what my life was going to be.

You came along,

And I’m forever grateful,

You chose to walk along this path with me.

 

You filled my life,

With love and joy and beauty.

Now I could see what I had never seen.

To far beyond the distant blue horizon.

And all because you walked along with me.

 

There was a time when all was dark and lonely,

When I could see no way to travel through.

But love remains,

And carries up my spirit,

I still walk along the path with you.

 

You filled my life,

With love and joy and beauty.

I could see what I had never seen.

To far beyond the distant blue horizon.

And all because you walked along with me

 

—You chose, to walk this path with me.
