The Last Thursday of November

"This very special holiday we celebrate in this month of November
This is where we create the memories that when grown we'll often remember
I try to make this holiday a daily thing for me though
Thankful for many things that one day isn't enough for me to show
First of all I'm thankful for my family always remaining strong
Never breaking even when many things tested our bond
I mean if I could I would take care of them all without a doubt
They've been there and seen me fall, and scream & shout
But that's one thing that I love about 'em they never doubt
It goes from my cousins, the ones that I can't live without
To my grandparents who have stood the test of time and are still here with us
I know it may be silly to say but thank you all for what you do every day
If it wasn't for this strong foundation I don't know where I would be
Probably out in the streets or maybe even six feet deep
Then it's my friends although they're very few I honor you
I can probably count you all off of one hand but that doesn't matter I truly see
That you've all shown me what most are not lucky enough to get, loyalty
I don't need to mention any names if you're reading this & feel my words you know it's you
What I'm trying to say is something I should say more often, thank you
This is my idea of Thanksgiving
Shouldn't have to wait until the last Thursday of November to give thanks for living."
