Lack of Thankness

What we lack knowing What we lack seeing What we lack acknowledging Something as simple so great How do we forget? How do we compare How could we see in a different way? Leads us to say Thank you God for giving me hands Hands; those are so powerful in good And so destructible in evil With everything we do With everything we establish With everything we make Is and only by the help of our hands How do we play the guitar? How do we swim the ocean? How could we draw a painting? How could we eat and drink? How could we clean and ran and play? Without help With no hands How could we practice our hobbies? How could we defeat our enemies? How could we study and learn? How could we cook and wear? How could we write, just write A letter for the ones we love To say just say I miss you How could we do anything with no hands? Without the gift from God we so thanklessly use? How could we not say? For now we should at least say Thank you God for all that you made!
