Thanks for being you
Thank you for the joy you bring
Thanks for being true
Thank you for wearing my ring
I thank you for everything
A conscript in the army of married men
I thank God my wife is not a hen
She only picked me, never pecked me
Romance renewed daily, as you can see
silver ocean gleam
on faded wallpaper where
spring swallows plunge low;
each morning I give thanks for
a shore I no longer see.
Consider well how great God is
remind yourself of His wondrous grace
how often He comes to your rescue
delivering you, proving God's on your case
Remember your sins from knee-high
all of them till now and till death
Jesus took them on at Calvary
to accomplish our salvation in His last breath
Jesus has paid for them all
shedding His blood for our redemption
never forget His great mercy to atone
loving us so much by His selection
No matter our ups and downs
our Lord remains faithful forever
in all circumstances He does not change
proving His love will always deliver
Be thankful in all circumstances
every day give Him all your praise
for He loves to hear your own voice
sing thankfully for all your days
Heart thanks
God's banks...
Life's zest
shares best...
Gift deeds
meet needs...
Love glows
grace shows...
Good grants
fill wants...
Glad days
give praise...
Grateful
joyful!!!
‘Oft overlooked is the noble foot.
But please let me in, my 2 cents, put.
For, granted, it is so often, took.
Homely and crooked, though it may look,
still gets you there, that most noble foot.

Ashwagandha bravery. Creaking; door emits
fears - grasping hands injected joyless, killing living moments newborn's opening peeping
Quiet… rendered screams to undergo valiantly weathered 'X'
You're zero years!
Xenogenesis within.
Varied under-tones steady resettling quiet
Please, oh newborn memory! Lie. Kiss joyfully in happy gratitude for every day changing baby anew
Next time won't you sing with me…?
O God, we celebrate what you have done:
The wonder of your kindnesses and grace;
The goodness Jesus shows to everyone
Whom he’s redeemed from Satan’s tight embrace.
Our longing, hungry hearts you satisfy;
You free us from our prisons of remorse.
You calm the raging storms that terrify;
With grateful courage we can stay the course.
Your wondrous kindness when we cry in need
Delivers us from sickness and from death.
It’s caused our feeble efforts to succeed;
It gives us time to rest and catch our breath.
For this extraordinary charity,
We’ll give you thanks for all eternity.
I walk among the makers
Those bright minds shaping language
Into lanterns that rise above the page
Their lines move like currents
Steady and certain carrying me forward
Even when I arrive empty-handed
In this place called Poetry Soup
I learn by watching brilliance
Unfold in quiet generous ways
Every verse I read becomes a doorway
Every stanza a reminder
That craft grows best in company
Here encouragement is a living thing
A creed beneath each comment
A warmth inside each shared attempt
As I study these talented poets’ words
I feel my own begin to take shape and rise
Clearer…braver…more wholly mine
This community doesn’t just inspire
It steadies the hand and strengthens the heart
This community encourages you to become
The best version of the poet you carry within
Thank you, fellow Soupers!
We have so much to give thanks for
every day, God's blessings are great
if we just stop and try to count them
nothing's too hard to put on our plate
Things we receive may be small
but thanks should be given for them
for all things come from our creator
whether big or small, God sends gems
God is so great to His people
abundant giving is the Lord of all
so we must give Him all our praise
His blessings make us all ten feet tall
The greatest blessing is our salvation
thank Jesus always for His great love
this took Him all the way to Calvary
paid the price for our redemption from above
Filling our hearts with thankfulness
having God's assurance that we are His own
so give all the glory He deserves
send all praise to His eternal throne
Jesus is our Brother
We are the broken cisterns
Jesus says “Come drink freely
From the Fountain Head” all listeners
Jesus is our Friend
Praises to Him sing
Jesus is our Savior
He’s our Prophet, Priest and King
He sees the seeing of all
He knows the knowing of all
He knows everything
So when you hear His call
Let’s glorify the Lord in all we say and do
Now change the "i" to an "o"
And look away from sin to The Son
And pray to the Tri-unity of the Three-in-One
There once was a mother so "grand,"
who failed to see harm in her hand-
my cries turned to scars,
while she played all the paths,
of a queen with no soul, just demand.
She missed every sign, feigned disgust,
While I drowned in betrayal and dust.
Now BPD's my name,
and PTSD's the same,
and "normal"? That's just non-
negotiable, I must!
She said, "I was there every day!"
Conveniently blind in her way.
My truth? Just a myth-
Unless served with her pith.
So here I rebuild-well, hurray!
A limerick, absurd, just like she-
A joke wrapped in trauma and plea.
But I laugh (biting, sharp),
While I heal in the dark:
"Thanks, mum. Guest identity's free?"
I’m grateful for the small mercies:
the ones that found me when I wasn’t looking~
the morning light that softened a hard year,
the friend who stayed when silence felt safer than words,
the way my own breath steadied after nights I thought it wouldn’t.
gratitude doesn’t arrive quickly or all at once;
it’s a gift that gathers slowly,
like warmth returning to cold hands,
reminding me that even in the thinnest seasons,
life kept giving gentleness I didn’t know how to ask for.
Two sugar of lumps
Pause above tea cup
You raise an eyebrow
I quiver with mine
Please keep them both
You are sweet enough
To cherish some more
Sweet tea with laughter
Your birthday is a special time
to give thanks to God for you!
I’m thankful you’re a friend of mine —
your birthday is a special time
to give thanks for you friend so kind,
and to pray you’re blessed
the whole year through!
Your birthday is a special time
to give thanks to God for you!
