Thankful Poems

Yah My Eternal Paramour

In the depths of my soul, You know me intimately,
A love so pure, so unfettered, it transcends mortality,
Unwavering and unrelenting, Your affection stands the test,
A boundless, fathomless love, that forever shall find rest.

When I stumble, and my heart is heavy with shame,
You forgive, and with compassion, You whisper my name,
In the darkness, You are my

HERE IN THE NOURISHING BOWL THEREOF

HERE IN THE NOURISHING BOWL THEREOF

Here I am, bowled
And immersed 
In the warmth 
And awareness
Of peace, love,
And supreme wisdom:-

Not only am I a receiver
But I'm also an ingredient
Of this nourishing bowl
Seasoned with its scented
Appetizing cravings thereof:

How blessed and inspiring
It is to be in the onderful
Oneness and onement
Of this nourishing bowl

SMALL RECALLS

Each morning You lift Your gleaming golden crown
And awaken me with a divine and pristine light.
So now I thank You Lord for allowing me around,
Relaxing in Your comfort for this long night.
You give me strength to step bravely on the way,
Remembering the Good Samaritans in my life.
I plod on a path of pleasant feelings about

Being

Being more open to others’ ideas
Being helpful when I encounter the helpless
Being loving when I see those that seem unlovable
Being slow to anger when I feel I’m being attacked
Being understanding when others make mistakes 
Being non-judgmental when people are different from me
Being thankful for all that comes into my life

Thankful

Nothing can make me go further,
but the thought that I will meet you once,
and then I will thank the clouds that brings the rain, 
after a hot summer afternoon,
and to the almighty sun that rises afterwards,
for the rainbow within your eyes.

Still Thankful

Only God and prayer can heal it:
The dreadful wound your loss has made.
Find thankfulness and never quit;
Remember to give thanks today.

When melancholy cords arise
Cast dissonance far, far away
Let gratefulness revive your eyes;
Remember to give thanks today.

If you still have someone to love
And a place where a bed is made
You have more than enough thereof;
Remember to

AMERICA

America, is my home, I love it with all my heart, and will never part. 
It has had its up and downs, and sometime caused me alarm. 
America has grown through all its ways, ways to make better days.
It has gone to war, and fought for rights, died and saved lives, that now work hard

What I'm Grateful For

I'm grateful often not once a year
I'm grateful to be able to see and hear
I'm grateful to hold my love one's near
I'm grateful to have memories i hold dear
I'm grateful to my God who gave his only son
I'm grateful to have my sins forgiven along with everyone
I'm grateful to have someone to call my best

Crooked House

Crooked House
 Be content.
 Don’t take life for granted.
 Crooked house.
 Be you all around.
 Sometimes pulling weeds.
 Complaining, don’t feed.
 Through harvest.
 It's a test.
 Be concontent.
 Each day is a gift.
 Sometimes down in the valley.
 Count your blessings.
 Short on change.
 That's O.K.
 Grateful anyway.
 Down to earth.
 Don’t ask for much.

Don't mind if I do

Here is my loving tribute to you,
You really don't mind if I do,
Send my thankful smiles your way,
Laugh, power to the grey,
After forty years,
You remove fears,
You don't mind,
So kind,
You.......

DEAR GOD

I know anything worth
Having isn’t easy and
I know that life isn’t fair
I’ve been through severe trials
But I thank you for being
By my side and for all
Your miracles and blessings
I can’t thank you enough but
I thank you from the bottom of
MY HEART!

Apricot Morning Something For Which To Be Thankful

Giant basket of apricots rising
Scattering its contents across the east
Revealing frosty dried autumn leaves
Used as mulch to make plants feast

Light ice upon the birdbath
Birds will have ice water to drink
A chilled bath this morning
Will make everything shrink

The chorus of the songbirds
Singing my favorite tunes
I love what they've orchestrated
They're my missing link

All winter there was mostly

straight talkin' whiskered man one stop 33

straight talkin’ whiskered man  
                  one stop 33

i walked into the bar room
just to hear the sound
pulled way back on the wooden stool
and set my body down

spilled vodka in my orange juice
‘twas flavor for my soul
an’ a

I'm Thankful

While His love replaced my scars
	with beautiful buds, vibrant hopes
		revealing the wonder of a song
			grace poured out on the soul
who knows that His love is like a story
	written on the night, across the heavens
		poetry in quiet moments, reassuring
			as the praise of the endless seas
eternity stills the relentless worries
	broken dreams, broken wings, brokenness 
		silence stirring the

i don't need a special reason

i make a point to pause
and count my many blessings
throughout the day
i am truly blessed ~
