I sat alone in my room, feeling kind of shitty icky
For you see the night before, I slept not one whit.
I had a throat that was sore and a runny nose that wouldn't quit!
In the morning I awoke quite ill and unrested
but I trudged on to work to prove I wasn't bested.
All through the day I used tissue after tissue
I knew that today, I just needed to push thr-ough.
After work I rushed home and closed my shutters,
then I found some solace underneath my covers.
I took a nap of an hour, maybe two or three,
then I ate some stuffing and a yummy, giant cookie.
Just kidding, it wasn't just a cookie I ate,
I made a batch of dough and didn't want to wait.
So I watched a movie, Top Gun if you must know,
and held my bowl in front of me and started to go.
Spoon it once, spoon it twice
and maybe spoon it thrice.
Oh how happy I was
with my spoon oh so nice!
I am so grateful for this cookie dough,
to make my day a little sweeter
and the modern medicine I have
that makes my body that much better.
I am grateful for my friends, my roommates, and more--
the people I meet, and get to know, and adore.
They help shape me and teach me so much everyday.
They help guide me and lead me and show me the way.
I am grateful for my dear family
even though we are not together.
Because I know that through Christ
we can be together forever.
So do not worry about me on this Thanksgiving Eve,
because I'm excited about tomorrow, oh yes indeed!
A day to eat, share, and express our gratitude and love
to that God who loves us and sends blessings from above!
