Within the morn of sun in rise I feel the warmth upon my skin and listen to my soul's surprise; give thanks again for days begin In the rising of bird on wing I listen to the song of morn then I give thanks for everything the rising day, the shining dawn As day begins and work takes o'er I give thanks for coin and such but more for friends who help me soar. I relish in their tender touch And if within my busy day I find a parking spot or two then I give thanks in quick of pray for fortune, which will stand by you When day is done and I'm at rest with breezes blowing through the trees I say thank you because I'm blest by nature's gift and all of these When darkness falls as darkness must I give soft thanks that you are near in thanking you, I place my trust that there will come a day of cheer The seasons come and seasons go with joy I feel, see, taste and hear if know naught, this thing I know not giving thanks but once a year Tis not enough, but on this day my thanks arise as incense cloud, with earthly morn I rise to pray, to give back thanks and stand up proud Throughout my life towards my death there's so much beauty all around and I have found that with each breath in giving thanks, all gifts abound Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Kethry, sometimes our answers are so simple and quiet, we overlook them in our hustle and bustle. This was a glorious poem to my challenge - thank you so very much for participating! |

Keth beloved one, and I give thanks because of you, this is truly wonderful beloved heart. When you write like this I’m amazed at the gift of you, or I would be if I didn’t know how truly you shine. You know me so well darling heart that you know I’m awe struck by this divine poem, when you write the air stills in admiration. This is especially exquisite, I love it utterly utterly utterly, Three utterlies darling it must be good ![]() ![]() ![]() Love and warm stuff As always Mushy ![]() ![]() Breathe through the heat of our desire |
