Even though I clutch my blanket
and growl when the alarm rings,
thank you, Lord, that I can hear.
There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed against
 the morning light as long as possible,
thank you, Lord, that I can see.
Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed
and put off rising, thank you Lord,
that I have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic,
when socks are lost, toast is burned and
tempers are short, my children are so loud,
thank you, Lord, for My family.
There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never
looks like the pictures in magazines
and the menu is at times unbalanced,
 thank you, Lord, for the food we have.
There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job
often is monotonous, thank you,
Lord, for the opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and
bemoan my fate from day to day and
wish my circumstances were not so modest,
Thank You, Lord, for life!
