Thanks

If there is anything that's good in me
I thank my parents, for they placed it there;
And if it has any utility,
I thank my teachers for their thoughtful care.
If there is any joy in how I act,
I thank my friends, for they have brought it in;
And if I have a modicum of tact,
I thank my enemies who taught me spin.
If I have virtues, then I thank the Lord
From whom, I'm taught, all blessings at last flow;
And if I live within what I afford,
I thank the world, which taught me not to owe.
But if all these - or any - are still true
For making it worthwhile, I must thank you.
