Happy Thanksgiving

We Have This Moment

We Have This Moment

Bill and Gloria Gaither

Hold tight to the sound of the music of living

Happy songs from the laughter of children at play

Hold my hand as we run through the sweet, fragrant meadows,

Making memories of what was today.

We have this moment to hold in our hands

And to touch while it slips through our fingers like sand

Yesterday's gone and tomorrow may never come

But we have this moment today.

I am holding my baby brother who was killed 

when he was five years old.

When the accident happened, 

I was 14, my older brother was 17,

and my sister was 9.

Tiny voice that I hear is my little girl calling

For Daddy to hear just what she has to say

And my little boy running there by the hillside

May never be quite like today.

Tender words, gentle touch and a good cup of coffee

And someone who loves me and wants me to stay

Hold them near while they're hear and don't wait for tomorrow

To look back and wish for today.

Take the blue of the sky and the green of the forest

and the gold and brown of the freshly mowed hay

Ad the pale shades of spring and the circus of autumn

And weave you a lovely today.

Happy Thanksgiving, my friends.

Bonnie:)
