Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Thank You, Lord

Every hour
  every second
Every minute
  of the day

Thank you, Lord
  in every way

For my hands
  and for my feet
For my heart
  Its steady beat

For the grass 
  and for the trees
For the ocean
  and the breeze

For noble steeds
  complacent cows
For baby kittens
  that say me-ow 

For my family
  for my friends
For Life’s beginning
  and its end…

So, now ‘good-night’
  my sleep direct
‘til morning light
  my soul protect
