Rev. John Williams III shares this:
"My natural mother once wrote a poem about being thankful that I have always treasured since I discovered it. She died in 1984 with s
kin
cancer. But, all that I learned from her is still with me today. I
thank God for every memory and every valuable lesson that she taught me
about life.
Her Poem went like this…
Thank God for dirty dishes,
They have a tale to tell.
While other folks go hungry,
We’re eating very well.
With home and health and happiness
We should not want to fuss.
For by this stack of evidence,
God is very good to us.
(Cecelia D. Williams)
It is often that stack of evidence that we so often forget or slight because we are too busy fussing or complaining."

I have always wanted to post this poem with the authors name. Thank you for solving the mystery. On behalf of your Mother (of Blessed Memory) you should notify all sites to correct the 'Author Unknown'.
Is it not possible that another wrote this poem and your beloved late Mother memorized it? My Grandmother taught me this poem. She died in 1969 at the age of 67.
