- I Am Thankful For -

                               I am thankful for the morning light
                          that shines through the lace curtain bright
                               Refreshing rain and all that blooms
                            with choice fruits and sensual perfume

                            I am thankful for the moon and the stars
                             I would never move to the planet mars
                                  Retrospection of lows and highs
                              smiles and tears have made me wise

                              I am thankful for family and friends
                                of tides and time - until the ends
                          My gratitude is greater than I can express
                               I expect this poem to be a success

Duke Beaufort November 25, 2024 at 12:06 PM Anne-Lise, you display your kind and optimistic spirit with this poem. BTW, I'm not moving to Mars either! I hear there is a strange odor of musk there that won't go away. In any case, life provides a great blessing and opportunity to have a great deal of pleasure here provided one knows how to think about it and behave well. That means taking care of the planet we're on! Smiles!!! Anne-Lise Andresen November 25, 2024 at 12:18 PM - Duke, I live in scenic surroundings ... and know what matters ... we don't have asphalt on the roads ... the animals right outside our windows ... wonderful ... a lot to be grateful for :) - hugs
