Gratitude Heals

After a long quest for my child
	Lost on a mountainside in the rain,
	My faith deliberately tested and re-tested
	When torment of dire anticipation gripped - 
        'Til bright of sunrise found him beneath moss.
  
	That now, each moment tilts back solemnly,
        And through the prism of petition
        Flowing through  time’s final intervention  -   
        My soul feels cleansed by God’s grace
        When polished dawn of relief bursts 
	And all I could utter is “ thank you, thank you,”
	My gratitude holding me steadfast each day.
