Thank you God for
This delicious Dinner
For Motherhood
For Love
Thank you for Life.
For a chance to stretch
And grow.
Thank you for
Gardens.
For red and white
And green…especially for
Green.
Thank you for birds
And for clouds
For soft cool rain.
Thank you for sunshine
The bite on my back
The warmth that
Unknots.
Thank you for friends
The ever shifting
Cast of those who come
Those who go and
Those who stay.
