About this listen
Thankful!
If it's a terrible day, remember
That you should never lose your temper.
If you are muddled in toils and strife,
Perhaps you should think of the finer things in life.
The swish-pop of a well-earned beer.
Aiming an arrow at a stock-still deer.
Steaming coffee in your cup.
The sweet brown eyes of your loving pup.
I don't mean to be sappy,
But these things make me happy.
Ardbeg Whiskey in a glass.
A front-row seat in a Latin Mass.
The cheerful chirping of a cricket
Getting out of a speeding ticket.
It all keeps me from stressing
When life can be depressing.
Crackling tobacco in corncob pipes.
Old Glory with her stars and stripes.
Being first in Confession line
And the wonderful smell of pine.
I don't know what all this means to you,
But it makes me feel fine.
Steaks medium-rare.
Snow flakes in your hair.
The smile of a loved one.
Ah… the glory of a setting sun
And when a fish takes the bait,
It just makes me feel great.
Finishing your Rosary late at night,
That you be ready for tomorrow's fight.
Friendly conversation by the fire.
Beautiful high notes of a Tenebrae choir.
Handling the grip of a well built gun.
This is what I'm all about, son.
Is it wrong that I admire what God has given me?
The crisp mountain air and the rolling sea!
I need to travel! To witness the glory of Rome.
But for now, New York is my home.
All in all, I'm content
With these consolations heaven sent
To keep me sane in this mad, mad world,
Knowing that I am furled
In Mary's Mantle.
SO… when sufferings cut like a knife,
Thank God for the finer things in life.
Hope you liked it. I was more or less just sleep deprived.
