Thanks

For the winds that bring the springtime near
  with the newborn baby's cry
For the flowers that will bloom once more
  underneath the big blue sky

For the summer that brings warmth to all
  for the trees and birds and streams
For the friends and love and happiness
  for just feeling all these things

For the cool that beckons fall to come
  for the food we harvest now
For the dancing, singing, and joyfulness
  for the hard work of the plow

For the snow that makes the earth a cloud
  of purity and wonder
For the warmth we share within our hears
  with the power of great thunder

For the blessings we forget to see
  for granted they are taken
For all these things we let go by
  that should not be forsaken

For children's laughter, mothers' smiles
  for love for one another
For the light you've brought into our lives
  we thank thee Heavenly Father!



Written Thanksgiving 1979
To he who blesses us so much. Thankfulness is the most sincere way of showing God we know he is truly a caring and loving father.
