Thanksgiving PIES

My beloved friend Susan Spritz-Myers instructed those of us lucky enough to be guests at her family’s Thanksgiving feast to bring a song, poem, or story about gratitude.  Here’s my song (and more on the mnemonic in a minute)

Thanksgiving PIES song

Thank you for the PIES
My nose, my ears, my eyes
For my body – large and tall
And my health – so good overall
Thank you for the PIES

Thank you for the PIES
Logic, reason – asking “why?”
Books and learning; all I know
Still have wonder - want to grow
Thank you for the PIES

Thank you for the PIES
I laugh, I love, I cry
Living life with an open heart
Loving people, music, art
Thank you for the PIES

Thank you for the PIES
My God’s not in the sky
She lives in me; He’s there in you
Like a river running through
Thank you for the PIES

P – Physical
I – Intellectual
E – Emotional
S – Spiritual

There’s so much to be grateful for!  Happy Thanksgiving to all!
