Lord, I Am Thankful

As I awake each morning to the rising of the sun, I am Thankful Rejoicing in the cycle of the seasons that go round and round, I am Thankful To witness Spring's awakening and Summer's magic glow, Autumn's palette rich in harvest,to share in its abundance, And the mantle of tranquility, of Winter's solemn pause, I am Thankful For family and friends who have shared in my life, through The uncertainty and qualm of the manic pandemic, I am Thankful As I watch the sun settle in a copse of trees, when day is done I am Thankful For: Thanksgiving Blessing Poetry Contest Date: 11/23/21 Sponsor: Regina McIntosh

We truly have so much to be thankful for. Simple things that get lost in the rush of life..Not to mention the ongoing pandemic. A timely reminder of all things good...Delice

Paulette, I am grateful for your prayer of gratitude... these words speak what my heart feels. I love the line 'the mantle of tranquility, of Winter's solemn pause'. I feel winter's solemn purpose is to give nature a rest and to teach humans to do the same. Also thankful for the family and friends... beautifully stated ~ John

Paulette, thank you for the Holiday compliments. We have a lot to be thankful for. Even during an epidemic, we must be grateful for the devotion of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers.

Yes Lassad, being 'Thankful' is a gift, even in difficult times, there seems to be no hope, if we look around our lives are filled with things to be thankful for. Blessings, Paulette
