Poem
To the God who from the dust of the earth created a man, and out of whose flesh he also made a woman suitable for him; who created vegetation and animal life, and put within them the life regenerative ability of procreation;  To the God of the Bible who gave his son to die that I might believe in him and receive everlasting life; who freely gives life to all;  It is this God to whom I pray and say, “THANK YOU”.
 
To my father who asked my mother for her hand in marriage;  To my mother who responded with a “Yes” answer;  To my parents who gave birth to me and my twelve siblings; who through much toil and suffering, never gave up, but travailed to show and teach us the good and right ways of life;  To my grandmother who lived with us and assisted in teaching and loving us;  Yes, to these heroes of my early years who also cast shadows and memories until now in my later years; To these visionaries and trailblazers, from the depths of my heart, I say, “THANK YOU”.

To the Church, which has been to me both an institution and a living organism; To the Church, an ever-present source of spiritual and social sustenance, and  is indeed at the top of my deepest affections. Such affections follow only my God and my family.  To the Church with which I have been deeply associated for more than fifty years.  To the Church with which I have gladly given of my life, my means, and my time for most of my life.  To this Church which has been my pillar and ground of the truth, seated on the strongest of foundations; To this Church which has given to me far more than I could ever give back; Yes, to the Church which comprises every believer in Christ the world over, I say “THANK YOU”.

And lastly, to this great land and country known as The United States of America;  This land of laws and liberties; this land of many colors and creeds, courts and constitutions; This land longed for by those who crossed the troubled seas and planted their feet like trees by the waters; This land beneath which lies those who fought and died for the right to be free and to be governed as they determine to be;  To these United States of America which God has blessed and shined his Grace upon;  To this one nation “Under God” with “Liberty and Justice” for all;  To this nation of “blood-washed stars” and  “pursuit of purity stripes”,  I say, I am proud of you;  I am praying for you; and I  say, “THANK YOU”.
