With A Thankful HeartThanksgiving Day, 2004, is fast approaching. This poem is about a typical day for me. And I think we need to be Thankful for our typical days. I hope you enjoy. With A Thankful Heart Eyes still closed, a lengthening stretch, I awake to the morning sun; A deep breath of inspiration, Lord, For my day has just begun. That first deep breath Of which I'm "so aware", Sends me, figuratively, to my knees, With a Thankful Heart, I praise the Lord For the very air I breathe. As the coffee brews, I receive a call From a loved one, far away And we share the joys of the simple things We'll be doing with our new day. The love we share is magnified Through the Power of Christ, our King, With a Thankful Heart, I praise the Lord, For that love, which is everything. Turning now, to the work at hand, Mundane housework, or lofty themes, Writing sonnets, crafting tales Of life, and love, and endless dreams. Experience teaches wisdom, that's true. A sum total of lessons we have learned. With a Thankful Heart, I praise the Lord, For what wisdom I have earned. The shadows grow, as evening dims, The sunset is almost here, Watching this masterpiece, I can recall sunsets; far, and near. And I glow in the warmth of the Master's Plan, And the life He has given to me, With a Thankful Heart, I praise the Lord, Such an Awesome God is He. karen 11-14-04 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
