zane's talk...

Ok so I wrote this today for Zane's talk in primary on Sunday. I was going to have him just hold pictures and tell what he was thankful for and why, etc. As I made the list (that he told me) I decided that it would be easier for him to be able to recite something, so I wrote this poem. It's lame, but I'm proud of myself anyways. It's not toooo cheesy for someone who never writes stuff and wrote it in one day, right?

I Am Thankful

My Heavenly Father loves me
Of this I can be sure
He's blessed me with so many things
That I am thankful for.

I am thankful for my body,
food, and for the clothes I wear.
I am trying to be healthy
to show Him that I care.

I am thankful for the Earth,
the planets, moon, and stars.
For games and toys, and for my house,
Even my parent's car.

I am thankful for the animals,
For mountains, flowers, and trees;
For school, my teachers, and my friends,
But most of all my family.

I am thankful for the prophets,
The scriptures, and the temple.
And although it's sometimes hard,
Giving thanks is very simple

I can show my Heavenly Father
That I appreciate these things;
By choosing right, and serving Him,
Giving thanks for my blessings.
