Prayer of gratitude

Dear God,

Today I feel only love around me,
Nature’s beauty to astound me.
These are things I am grateful for,
Each of these things and so many more.

Birds as they twitter and sit on the eaves,
Leaves as they rustle, the warm summer breeze.
These are things I am grateful for,
Each of these things, and so many more.

The sun as it shines in the clear blue sky,
Soft white clouds as they drift by.
These are things I am grateful for,
Each of these things, and so many more.

Fresh, clear, water to drink and to swim,
Healthy nutrition, to eat on a whim.
These are the things I am grateful for,
Each of these things and so many more.

An indigo canvas of moon and of stars,
People to love and hold in my arms.
Each of these things and so many more,
Are some of the things I am grateful for.

Thank You,
Amen.
