GIVE THANKS


Insted in New Jersey, 2004, giving thanks to stage diving, Photo: Traci McMahon

It's such a short time we're on this earth. We all tend to neglect from the moment of birth. Let's put aside the evil and look towards the good realizing what we have, is something we should. Step back, look around, what do you see? Step back, look around, and assess your needs. There's people less fortunate, with no place-to sleep. This life they were brought into, with nothing to eat. Don't take for granted the things you have cause compared to some people, life's not that bad, There's good things out there just look around, I'm not gonna let a loss bring me down. But instead I'll keep pushing on and be thankful for my life's not over and done. Give thanks for what we are given. Appreciate what you have got. - INSTED

Horns
of Plenty
it fills the coffers
of this land
Where's
it come from
They don't say, a little
sleight of hand

The good life
I can alomst taste it
Pay the price
with my worst fears

Their touch is cold
Their touch is cold
Give Thanks
Give Thanks
Give Thanks
Give Thanks

See
the children
Smiling faces
Clean White hands
How
can I deny
the benefits of
this blessed land

Comfort, warmth, and
Happiness
The promise of the
Light they shed
We must spread this
to all people
Later on we can
count the Dead

A great song and I take it to heart. I do stop to look around and see how much I have and think of those who don't. Then I feel dumb for complaining about what I don't have as I should.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
