Thanks To You

You had given us the gift of life 

In which it is not needed for us to be on a strife, 

For each one has his own identity 

And we are all waiting for eternity. 


For you have bestowed us the power 

To choose, and to be free as a flower, 

To be happy with the fewer, 

And to bow our heads lower. 


Thank you for the gift of laughter 

That makes our hearts lighter; 

Thank you for the power to understand, 

And for guiding us with your holy hand. 


Thank you for the power to speak 

For the gift of love that we seek; 

Thank you for the power to listen 

To the feelings of our own brethren. 


Thank you for the power to envision 

The truth about our mission; 

Thank you for the power to pray 

And for leading us to the right way. 


Thank you, Lord, for everything 

As we use them in our living; 

Thank you for creating us as special beings 

And for imparting on us special things. 


For you had given us 

An earthly life that won’t last. 

Coming from our own spirit… 

“When the time comes, we’re ready for it.”

    It takes a special writer to convey the importance of giving thanks so well. There was one other poem posted today on this topic and I find both writes very inspiring. Indeed, our "earthly life" won't last, but if we lead good lives we are ready for the transition to the spiritual world. Beautifully worded. Love, carolyn
