Pause To Ponder Thankfully

Here I pause to pose my ponderings, spilling them to the sky beyond me. I have wistfully wondered and wished and been filled with gratitude recently. Thank you earth for grounding me, granting me growth and endless glee. Thank you sun for warming me, welcoming me with the wonder of light so gracefully. Thank you moon for your perfect pastel glow, peeping through the clouds so playfully. Thank you life for holding me steady, sure and safe and sound. I'm happy. Thank you mother for your diligent direction and loving me doubtlessly. Thank you father for your hard work, wealth of wise words and charity. Thanks you faithful friends who remain fearless in the face of how fickle time can be. Thank you sky for my horizon, the emblem of my hope and health and humanity. Thank you sea and sand and sunny sanctuaries for the times we were carefree. Thank you faith for granting me the freedom to invest in my future firmly. Now for liberty and luck and opportunity to learn, I have been leant to gratitude recently, So, I gratefully accept that I am able to achieve in and appreciate the great life before me. **For the 'through... thoughtful and thankful' contest**

Thank you both for the kind words. Kris, I am sure that you can write anything you want, your work is very beautiful. I am very much an amatuer (a young one) and I find that the challenge is part of the fun, even if you don't get your best work out of it.
