Thank You, GOD

Thank You, GOD for everything

        I've experienced here on earth--

Thank You for protecting me

        from the moment of my birth--

And Thank You for the beauty

        around me everywhere,

The gentle rain and glistening dew,

        the sunshine and the air,

The joyous gift of "feeling"

        the soul's soft, whispering voice

That speaks to me from deep within

        and makes my heart rejoice--

Oh, GOD, no words are great enough

        to thank You for just living,

And that is why every day

        is a day for real THANKSGIVING.
