Notes About The Poem

His Precious Gift

Life is so ironic, it takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence. ~ Anonymous


I’m thankful for the rainfall
Leaking through a hot summer sky
The reflection of kindness
Twinkling in a friend’s eyes
The laughter and smiles found
On a crowded playground
The joy inside my heart and soul
As dreams light my thoughts 

I’m thankful for the stars that shine
In darkness filled with hope
The sense of peace I find inside 
When I’m caring for a young child
The music of faith that blends with grace
As I caress a flower with a teary kiss
The excitement and passion I feel in my spirit
When heaven pores out its blessings

I’m thankful for the hues of sunshine radiating
Across the mountains and beaches and memories
The lavender praise that falls from my lips
As whispers of dewdrops crawl on my visions
The miracle of a love that breathes promises into me
Inspiring me to give from the gratitude within
The healing and hoping, the sensations of joy
That ride my thoughts in waves of tenderness

I’m thankful for the most humble caress
Of a kind word or a faithful expression
The glow of kindness filling up my soul
As heaven opens up and pours blessings galore
The sense of assurance that comes from knowing
Love this alive is meant to bring satisfaction
The blending of scents, prayers and essences
Creates a finely laid plan for wonderful imaginations

I’m thankful for God’s love – His mercy – His grace
I’m thankful for the words that remind me that I’m saved
I’m thankful for His plan – His creation – His gifts
The promise of a home where I will forever live
I’m thankful for the moments, mysteries and myths
I’m thankful for the music that reveals His melody
I’m thankful for the One who gave me everything I am
The gift of His presence is more than I could have hoped for!

I’m thanking God for His precious love and His precious Son
