I know it sounds so corny, but I’m just thankful for today

For my job and for my family, for being able to work and play

For all of the great blessings that I have had in my whole life

Yes, even for all the pains, for any sufferings and any strife.

For there is no one who knows the timing of his death

Nobody knows what will be the day of his last breath

For nobody knows what her future days might hold

Nobody even knows whether tomorrow might be cold.

So I am thankful for every breath, every heartbeat, every day

Yes, I know it sounds so corny, but I am here to say

Be thankful for today for you never know what will come

Be thankful for this moment for the next one might not come.

But lest it seem that I am morbid, full of doom and gloom

It is not my intention to make you hide inside your room

It is just that I know that we must take the good times with the bad

And cherish each and every moment, like it is the best one that we had.

So you can call me corny, you can poo poo this silly rhyme

You can discount all my thoughts, you can mock my sense of time

But I know that I will always give thanks for each new day

But what else can I say, I am just thankful for today.
