Thanks

Who am I to tell You,
don't you already know?
Who am I to beg
when in time You show
that all my needs are met.

Only my arrogant ego
demands what I want,
but then I don't grow
in Your spiritual way
when all I have here below
are material possessions
that are not going to go
and be with You
who already knows.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
is all that I can say
to the Spirit of the Universe
my companion in all ways.
Where are We going today?

Excellent work, Sue! I just came over here to respond to your comment on my Xmas poem but found this and connected instantly. I can feel me saying and writing the same sentiment. Regarding your comment on my poem... I agreee emphatically about doing Halloween and Thanksgiving first but Carol needed poems for her contest on Xmas poems and I thought I'd post the two that I did, just to have it done by the Xmas season. I know you meant it tongue-in-cheek but it is an anual peeve of mine, normally.
