My Prayer of Thanks

(Head bowed)
Thanking God for
the gifts he has shared with me.
Shelter, warmth, food to sustain;
Friends, family, love,
and the gift of laughter.
The ability to get up and go to work
each day with an energy that
leads me through each challenge.
Music that takes me on journeys
of my own imagination.
The ability to face adversity, stand tall
and overcome.
The beauty and diversity of life
which share this blue world with us.
Gardens that bloom, wither and come
back, bringing joy through the seasons.
My fury friend that shares my life
and home, who gives unconditional love
and purrs that warm my heart.
For all that I have and hold dear,
I thank You Lord.
