i am thankful

i am thankful

the birds were singing
they were chirping away
as they ushered in
the dawn of this day
i looked to the skies
at the warm Sun Ray
the squirrels were jumping
from Limbs in play
chasing their joy
that is their way
yes all of life
had some thing to say
indulgent and reverent
i can and i may
i opened my heart
and started to pray
i was thankful you see
for this awesome display
for all of creation
was having it’s way

i am thankful
