   Chris,
   You are right. Enough is not said on this subject!
   You also hit into another topic of my poetry writings. I wrote this for Thanksgiving, sometime in the early 1990’s. Enjoy.

   Gratitude – A Thanksgiving Prayer
   I’m thankful for the flowers.
   I’m grateful for the trees.
   I’m awestruck with all nature
   And all its wondrous beauty.
   I’m thankful for the animals,
   For the ones so wild and free,
   And for those who life as friends
   Among us, loving me.
   I’m thankful for the heavens
   And their great bright starry host.
   And I’m grateful for the seasons;
   There’s not one I don’t love the most.
   I’m thankful for the valleys,
   And the mountains soaring so high,
   And I’m grateful for the oceans
   And the water’s abundant supply.
   I’m thankful for my family,
   My children, bright and strong,
   And how my spouse still loves me
   When I am in the wrong.
   And I’m grateful for the people
   Whose love will never end,
   Both family and others,
   The ones I’m proud to call “Friend.”
   I’m mostly thankful, though, Lord,
   For the love I’ve come to know
   In the ways You gently touch my heart
   And cause me to quietly grow.
   I’m grateful also, dear Lord,
   For the gifts You’ve given me,
   And the way You teach me how to use them
   So you can set other spirits free.
   I’m thankful for it all, Lord,
   For this life that I call “Mine,”
   And I’m asking You to help me
   To be thankful more of the time.
   And I’m asking You to shake me up
   When I have a bad attitude,
   That others might be drawn to You
   Through my life of humble gratitude.

   Thanks for that pep talk and helping me get out of the dauldrams. I have been having a pitty party and it was good to hear what I knew that I could move on.
