Thank You God

Thank you, God, for everything, especially, giving life to me, and thank you for these thoughts of mine the hills I climb, and dreams. Thank you for the sky and stars, planets, asteroids, and moons, the air we breathe, two eyes to see, and rose gardens in full bloom. With butterflies and dragonflies and birds of every kind, for ants and worms and even germs you once brought forth, designed. Thank you for the grass, trees and whispering breeze, that cools our skin and bones, for water, seas and bats and bees, and our families, friends, and homes. And thank you for the times we share, including broken hearts and pain, with all the lessons we deserve for our missteps, mistakes, and shame. From exercising our free will you gave us from the start, and thanks for the undeserved grace, you lovingly impart. And thank you for our hearts and souls that make each of us unique, for ears to hear, hands to hold, and our lips and tongues to speak. Thank you for the seasons, winter, spring, summer, fall, for boys that like to run and hide, and little girls with baby dolls. For teachers, preachers, moms, and dads, doctors, nurses, and cops, for truck drivers, ranchers, and farmers, and all their animals, fields, and crops. For history, time, and words that rhyme, and all the knowledge we've attained, about science, math, and our planets past, and for snow, ice, fire, and rain. And thank you God for being, Our Creator and Love unfurled, and allowing me yet one more day to seek and find you in this world.
