'The good, green earth beneath ourfeet,
The air ue breathe, the food we eat,
Some utork to do, a goal to win,
A hidden longing deep within
That spurs us on to bigger things
And helps us meet what each day brings,
All these things and many more
Are things ue should be thankful for . . .
And most of all our thankJul prayers
Should rise to God because he cares!'
