What is it I’m most thankful for
Of all the things I’ve known
When God does linger in my heart
I never am alone
He shares with me the beauty found
In everything he’s made
The crystal wonderment of life
That daily does pervade
The mist upon the morning grass
That sparkles in the sun
The rainbow passing o’er the sea
Before each day is done
The seabirds as they wake then soar
Along the ocean’s rim
The sailor who does tack and glide
Once he has set his trim
A kiss I’ve shared with one I love
That lingers still within
A friendship made and never lost
So life can new begin
A childhood of innocence
A man returned from war
The birth of children in my time
Who’s life I reassure
It is a hug that’s endless shared
With those who need it most
The pride that comes when we succeed
As of ourselves we boast
It is the smile and the tear
Reflecting who we are
The strength and the maturity
That comes with every scar
And most not least of all it is
The knowledge of these things
That God does share with us each day
As love he constant brings | | © 2007 David Devaney |
