George Aul Poet Free verse

I Thank Thee

I thank you Dear Lord...

for presenting me with all 
the wonderful gifts in my life;

for letting me see the wonder
in my child's eyes;

for filling my life with laughter,
love, kindness, and forgiveness;

for allowing me to have more
abundance than I could ever pay back;

for giving me the ability to make
mistakes and learn from them;

for loving me for who I really am -
my strengths and my weaknesses;

for sacrificing your life
so that I may live.
