I AM THANKFUL FOR

Thankful am I for daily hopeful glow Also strength to face challenges midst grace Since the Lord does grant along blessings’ flow Assured victory in running life’s race. While walking out to enjoy sunshine rays My heart indeed thanks* heaven with delight Also for clouds with gems on rainy days Helping bring harvest to smite crisis-blight. Feasting with family in wellness-zest I thank the Almighty for faith-filled shout Also for answered prayers to feel blest Sharing my best gladly while reaching-out. Yes, I am thankful for poetry’s gift Letting my soul express gratitude list Also for the privilege to uplift Everyone with God’s love as I exist.
*1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

This is also a grace; thanking God/Allah for all his blessings is not a habit that everyone is aware of. Nice poem and lovely feelings.
