Leon Enriquez Poet Quatrain

Thanksgiving Thoughts

Thank you dear God
For thoughts that wing;
Thank you dear Lord,
For heart that sings.


Thank you for time,
For sacred space;
For precious rhymes,
For joys that trace.


Thank you for smiles,
For inner cheer;
For words that style,
For happy here.


Thank you for grace,
For touch that stays;
For light to face,
For pulse and play.


Thank you for peace,
For path that comes;
For simple ease,
For voice that sums.


Thank you for tears,
For humbling pain;
For heart that steers,
For life made plain.


Thank you for joy,
For merit here;
For inspired ploys,
For gift of cheer.


Thank you for grief,
For sorrow's sway;
For pain made brief,
For health that stays.


Thank you for light,
For radiant glimpse;
For vibrant sight,
For fragrant dream.


Thank you for time,
For sojourn here;
For soulful chimes,
For blessings near.


Thank you for wealth,
For choice and voice;
For grand, good health,
For praise and poise.


Thank you for soul,
For lively forms;
For spirit whole,
For sacred norms.


Thank you for pulse,
For life and quest;
For kind impulse,
For breath and zest.


Thank you for tact,
For good and bad;
For urge to act,
For calm and mad.


Thank you for now,
For moments here;
For work and plough,
For festive cheer.

I wrote these lines around 6:30am local time. I just sat down and then, the words just flowed naturally. Often, I do not know what I will write. Leon
