Robert Stoner Jr Poet Free verse

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.

Psalm 118:29
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
