A prayer of thanksgiving

i wrote this song a long time ago - since the "I love banana" days. I was really inspired by Jenny.

i was wondering what song would be befitting of our father. imagine myself as a parent, the best present that my child can give is "thank you" . to thank god for all the wonderful things he has given to us. the trials that are in our way to help us grow. or just the shelter from the crazy world.

it would be most appropriate to start with this song. as you listen to this song, i hope you would remember to thank the people around you, esp your parents.
