Wing and a prayer

Have had a Thanksgiving Prayer about 30 years now. Recited it at my brother’s family gathering when we were there few summers back. Young grand- niece said, “That’s NO prayer!” I told her it’s a wing and a prayer.

Why am I so thankful for all of God’s blessings
when others are so much in need?
Well, I’m thankful because She is not second guessing
and pulling my warranty deed!
Why is She not saying, “Now give me your life
as I’ve given you yours in the past.
Countless others have bled, suffered torture and died.
Did you think ‘nice’ was going to last?”
So I’m thankful, Dear Lord, for this season of peace
when my life has been going so well.
All I ask is this moment of rest and surcease
before you start giving me Hell!

Anyone want a wing? Half white half dark
