THANK YOU, LORD
by
Kent E. Gunnison ©

Thank you, Lord, for yesterday.
And for the promise of a new tomorrow.
    For rest in the night.
    And strength in the day.
For more happiness - than sorrow.

Thank you for my many friends,
And a country where I'm free;
    Where I can own my house,
    And drive a car,
And - openly - disagree.

Thank you, Lord, that I can walk,
And sing, and hear, and see.
    For food to eat,
    And clothes to wear;
Enough for more than me.

Thank you for the gift of love,
That brings another closer.
    That, in time, can make
    A - family
Where love will bloom moreover.

Thank you for the little things,
Throughout the day, that make me smile;
    For the worries that...
    You take away,
And, for a tear, once-in-a while.

Thank you for a mind to dream;
To calculate, and plan;
    To set a goal;
    To chart a course;
To do whatever others can.

Thank you most of all, Dear Lord,
For patience, when I forget,
    And begin to complain
    About little things,
That cause me to be up-set.

I'm a miracle of creation.
You made me. I belong to you.
    You've given more
    Than I deserve,
And provided Heaven, too.

Thank you, Lord
