What am I thankful for?

What am I thankful for?

An evening glow from the Moon so bright,

It covers my fears it guides my steps,

The sound of crickets in the field, 

Making their way from leaf to leaf.

A spring shower so wet with all its joy, 

upon my eyes it clears the mist,

A rainbow reaching across the sky

To where it ends only God knows

A beggar calling out for an alm of hope,

And an angel dressed in clothes so pure,

The poor that ask and the giver who hands,

One more need for the people of the street.

I see the morning sun as it glows with love,

And the flowers that bloom in its rays so pure,

The bees that hurry on their appointed task,

To pollinate the seeds of roses and more.

All of this happens and not by chance, 

since God created each inch of nature,

I look and see the hand of God, 

For me he gives a touch of himself..

My day completes a sign so divine,

There is no guess where I will be tomorrow,

As he who is Light himself,

Will set the path of eternal joy.

Into eternity I now find the reason,

Why God has led me here,

To see the souls who were the flowers,

And helpers of love that made them grow.
