Thank You Very Much

So many take all things for granted
it doesn't take much just to say
with a smile thank you very much
even when feeling like blobs of clay

All the basic necessities of life
this we have fully in abundance
so much of the world hasn't got
this be seen just taking a glance

I am so thankful for all I've got
a loving wife, a house to call home
food aplenty, retirement to enjoy
the joy to read and write a poem

Enjoy nature all around on many walks
have ears to listen to music so pure
to believe in God and His salvation
receive His son as saviour to be sure

I can truly smile full and free
tell Jesus thank you very much
for all the blessings I've received
to eternally feel His tender touch

( Looking back on my old writing, I thought this needed a fresh airing, hope it encourages those that read it.)

Good Morning Gordon. No entry is old. Every entry needs to be revisited now and then. Your message and words are true. We need to appreciate what is before us. I always try to. Yes, I feel bad for those who do not because they are missing out on everything good like peace beauty and much more. Thank you for sharing with us. Have a wonderful day and weekend too. Keep enjoying poetrysoup. May your appreciation for life and what is before you remain. Blessings now and always. (smile)
