We've had a happy holiday, to spend with those we love, <br /> and; for "His" blessings in our lives; we thank "The Lord" above, <br /> for "He" fulfills our every need, and brings good things our way, <br /> we trust in "His" protection, as we all go on our way. <br /> "God" bless us all and keep us, 'til we gather once again, <br /> we'll treasure thoughts of all of you, until we see you then. <br /> We thank you "father" for this gift, "your love we have to share, <br /> and for "your" blessing in our lives, "your" guidance, and "your" care. <br /> For time in joy! and revelry, refreshing to the mind, <br /> we're thankful for a blessed chance, to share the ties that bind.<br /><br />Richard Baird<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-ties-that-bind/
