A Thankful Life

Time to think, a pondering, non action's prime. Thank you Life for the always affirmative actions of folks with intent sublime. ~Thank you for the good intentions of the pure pacifist’s present lifetimes. ~~Thank you for their prayers, non action relates richly random over time. Thank you Heaven, they do not “Jump the Gun” an early expression, excerpt, crime. ~Thank you, this daft, deadly, denotation, fails; this mantra of sometimes. ~~Thank you, when the furious, fractious, fall in actions error aforetime. Thank you Mother when waiting wonder, goes slowly, prayerful to Prime. ~Thank you Father as in action, breathe, beauty, brevity, pantomimes. ~~Thank you All for the smiling, simpe, shining, days of springtime. Thank You when the hate and horror heals and with the end of wartime. ~Thank You with the creation of many more merciful pastimes. Enrich our earth journey with patience, prudence, providence, sublime. Praise the people of peace for all of time.
