Expressions Of Gratitude

For the rise and set of the sun each day... I am thankful.

For the bounty and beauty of mother earth... I am thankful.

For the home where the heart of my family resides... I am thankful.

For the enduring devotion of steadfast friendships... I am thankful. 

For the pleasure of unrestricted laughter and silly moments... I am thankful.

For the numerous shoulders that share the weight of my sorrows... I am thankful.

For the pages of memories in my book of time... I am thankful.

For all I have and all I am able to give... I am thankful. 

For a quiet moment at the break of day
to renew my spirit, to pause and say:

I am grateful for the abundance of blessings in my life.

I am thankful
