Mystic Rose Rose Poet Enclosed Rhyme

I Am Thankful For

I am thankful for the breath He gives me each morning 
and the sun that accompanies me with its ray   
each time I kneel by my bedside to pray
I am thankful for life as I know it, and all that He brings 

I am grateful for the lungs that hold my breath each day 
and for every noteworthy tune I hear as I sing 
and for my guardian angel's right wing 
I am grateful for winter snowflakes and flowers of May

I am thankful for family and friends and strangers too 
for the love I receive and the love that I give 
the ability to love and to forgive  
I am thankful for God's blessing, it never goes askew.
