Offering Thanksgiving

I thank THEE Oh, LORD
For 
All the treasures, THOU HAST
So generously upon me
Bestowed:
-
My life
My sight
My Hearing
My touch
My scent 
My taste 
My arms
My legs
My brain and every other
Organ, 
-
Treasures of worth untold
That
Money couldn’t ever buy 
-
Forgive my, LORD,
My egoism
My ingratitude
My greediness 
My complaining
My insatiability
My forgetfulness,  
-
If only THY charity were I able  
To remember
And
The multitude of unfortunate ones
That isn't as blessed as I:
The blind
The deaf
The feeble
The sick
The irrational
The disabled
Every second should I THEE, for life,
Thanksgiving offer, MY LORD, 
Rather than once a year!

* Today is my birthday and this is my way to offer thanksgiving to
our Lord for keeping me alive at the age of seventy-six, despite the
fact that I came close to death on three separate occasions because
of health problems!
