I Give Thanks

I give thanks 
for the fresh clean air 
breathless wide blue sky above 
clear water in mountain brooks 
fertile soil providing daily bread 
creatures large and small gracing our lands 
forests of the multitude of tree 
grace in man of peace and love 
creator of this bounty 
provider of life 
I give thanks.

This reminds me of what I was told long ago; if you ever doubt there is a God, then Look at the sky's above, the birds and the trees. I love your description of our creator..breathless wide blue sky above clear water in mountain brooks...Truly amazing!
