Lord,

I am finding it hard to be thankful today.

Or...  Am I more thankful than ever,

In some peculiar, kind of way.

The year 2020, pitiful,

Is the least I can say.

A dreadful test of my endurance,

Is there a message that you are trying to convey?

This plague we have been sent this year is a test of faith,

Its obstruction, and destruction, quite the display.

Is this a reminder,

That your laws, and commandments I must obey.

If I repent, and beg for your forgivness,

Will you relieve us from this plague someday?

I am thankful today Lord, through good times, or bad,

I may not always see you, but from my side, you never stray.

And I hope to say thanks for the coming fortunes in our future,

Let us get there together Lord, without delay.

I want to say thanks again tomorrow,

For having had just one more day.
