Gratitude
At his special place on God’s earth
He’d recapture his sense of worth
He sent a prayer to God above
Professing honest undying love
For the beauty around him now
His gratitude he did avow
The feverish sun warmed his skin
He could unwind and look within
Search deep into his soul and heart
And mend what seemed broken apart
No matter how hard life could be
His love for God would keep him free
For He had given him this life
Resplendent with both joy and strife
