Our Teacher,
Time,
A unit of measure.
The Spirit,
Lives on forever.
Our Minds,
Always seeking pleasure.
Our Hearts,
Are feeling the pressure.
Our Bodies,
All here together.
Our lives,
Meant to be the treasure.
The Present,
We are It's Creator.
And GOD,
He was the Professor.
JOY
I pledge allegiance to the joy,
Hidden within my heart.
Everything I catch me falling,
Is a chance for a fresh start.
When your feeling low,
Let your heart know,
Just let it all go,
Watch your joy grow.
Give Thanks
Thank you for your beauty,
Thank you for your grace.
Thank you for your wisdom,
?Thank you for your space.
Thank you for the smile on my face,
And the way you created this place.
Thank you for forgiveness,
While running through this race.
Thank you for protecting me,
As I blindly walk with Faith.
I give thanks for gifts from creative ways
And deep blue skies on sunny days
I give thanks for the kind, caring gestures
And wide open freedom in golden pastures
I give thanks for guidance, strength and survival
Born in the miracles of granted revival
I give thanks for simple things in each catalyst
That launches my soul, as I emerge from the mist
And from diifficult challenges and painful.days
From things that leave smudges on life, as it frays
I give thanks for the contrast of good and bad
The colorful ground of mercy, I let myself clad
There are so many thanks, a million stars to see
Shining in the dark, pouring wise stardust on me

Today, I need to say
Thank you to all who pass my way
Thank you is a word,
That is not so much in play
Too busy to say thank you
Too stressed to share a smile
Some just can't be bothered,
It stands out a mile.
Etiquette and good manners
Are they becoming things of the past
Saying please and thank you.
Are needed, meant to last,
These expressions of gratitude
We cannot do without
So altogether now PLEASE, SHOUT
THANK YOU.
Grateful am I for the gold coined sun that warms my heart
and thankful too for all the stars that shine so bright;
I am indebted to my maker for these blessed hands that can,
write poems of great valor, with a mind that works just fine.
I am beholden for the eyes that see and the voice that speaks
appreciative, for the breath that lives in me .
I am glad I have bread to eat and water to drink
but most and foremost I am thankful for the precious
souls, that make up my family.
COVID 19
came and went
we're grateful
Thanksgivings is three days away.
We celebrate in land of the fey.
Heartfelt song doth rapidly convey,
Our thanks for people for whom we pray.
The meanness of old Widow Gray
She’s sour, since being pushed away.
But secretly, we know she’s okay.
She supports orphans down yonder way.
We are thankful for our Uncle Jay.
Whose wandering feet don’t let him stay.
His amazing laugh is a loud sweet bray.
His presence like a golden sunray.
We give thanks for our creative cousin May.
She’s in a church pew every Sunday.
Gives generously to the Baptist offering tray.
Wearing a fancy slip with nary a fray.
I express thankfulness for the new freeway.
So much faster than a normal highway.
Better than toll road where you must pay
Lots to say and it is still Monday.
Thank you Lord, for the beautiful golden tones of Fall. For the trees, who with one voice, tell leaves to fall.
For a new season of change, giving thanks for our gain. For life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that still remain.
For the blessings of family and friends, and to be loved by you. For the ability to count all our blessings whether many or few.
For food, clothing, shelter, health, and your generosity. And for giving us the opportunity to have life eternally.

Lord I thank you for the doors you have opened for me, both those I do and don’t physically see.
Today, I wipe away any traces of tears, knowing that your love and graces have carried me throughout my 41 years.
On today, I can not ask of you to much, for in my world, you have completely touched your abundance of enough.
Never enough to walk totally away, so this is my plea, my way of asking you, just to stay with me!
Stay until you have seen me complete your tasks at hand, then with you I can finally stand, the individual you intended me to be, full of his spirit and totally and unconditionally free!
Towdah, to give thanks
I do give thanks
O Father my God
Lord Jesus I do give thanks
O I will, I shall give thanks unto you
Tehillah, to shout out the loudest praises
To lift up my God, my God always
Loud adoration do I proclaim
Hallelujah to your name
We are your children and we give you praise
We do give thanks
O Father our God
Lord Jesus we do give thanks
Yes we will we shall give thanks unto you
Always
Hallelujah
Towdah to give thanks
Always

Have you ever wondered when we should give thanks
for all the gifts that we’ve been granted…
for all the blessings we’ve received
for a life that’s been enchanted?
I think twice a day would be sufficient
Yes…twice a day seems right
When we open our eyes each morning
and before we close them every night.
faint
chatter
in slight wind
rainbow colors
flash within sunset
graceful soft wings
hovering
between
sips
one
tiny
nectar drop
floating downward
caught in eye of sun
rainbow flashes
now grounded
colored
blank
ant
drawn near
sipping slow
from cement cup
as others claim stake
of sugared drink
he blends in
darkness
falls

What are you crying for;
Why do you fear your?
Not suppose to ignore...

GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD--remix---
The hills are on fire;
Everyone must know by now;
Cover them with the holy water;'
Throughout my destitute soul, we all should know..To
Give thanks, Give thanks to the Lord
For He is so good, and, His love endures
For, endures forever, forever ever'
Hopelessness sometimes found;
A top a quilted mountain;
Roaring like a raging lion;
Nothing working out for me, in and out of misery;
Give thanks, Give thanks to the Lord
For He is so good, and His love endures for
Endures forever, forever, forever, forever, and ever'
I need to be grateful, need to be thankful'
We need to be more thankful for our trails and test make us stronger;
For my test is my testimony
Give thanks, Give thanks to the Lord
For He is so good His love endures, endures forever
Give thanks, Give thanks to the Lord
