Thank you
For the wonderful thing that we call friends
For their kindness, generosity
Love and wisdom
For showing them into my life
Enriching my very existence
And showing me that nothing surpasses kindness
Thank you
For the rain that thunders down
My ability to hear it fall, crash, tumble, drip
My faculty to see the earth reborn
Green
Youthful
Hopeful
Joyous
My keenness of smell
That allows the freshness of the new day
To permeate my being
Soaking it in
Reveling in it
Never enough
Thank you
For the humility of the job I have chosen
Being able to serve
Help
Heal
And in turn
Be helped
Healed
And loved
Thank you
For the yellow light
Filtering across the landscape
Then pink
Or even orange
Colours
Life
Being
One
Thank you
For the trees that teach me stillness
The plants that teach me courage
Huge, towering beings
Yet gentle and kind
Their humility, endurance and selflessness
Helps me grow
Thank you
For what I call family
For their love, patience and understanding
Thank you
Thank you
For each new day
For Life.
