Poetry: What I'm thankful for

by Megan Stoddard

Created on: November 14, 2009   Last Updated: December 04, 2009

For wind and rain and green growing things,
Let us be thankful.
For gladdening sun and bright blue sky,
Let us be thankful.

For medicine and earth's gentle power,
I am thankful.
For herbs that heal and spider webs in the sunlight,
I am thankful.

For love,
Let us be thankful
For rainbows shimmering in the mist,
Let us be thankful.

For a solid love of many years,
I am thankful.
For the pleasures that we share,
I am thankful.

For nurturing and nourishment,
Let us be thankful.
For the creative power to make the feast,
Let us be thankful.

For warming soup and sweet tart fruits,
I am thankful.
For the joy of bringing them to the table,
I am thankful.

For wind and rain and green growing things,
Let us be thankful.
For gladdening sun and bright blue sky,
Let us be thankful.
