A Thanksgiving Gift

The Miracle of Life

Linda Ann Henry

Thank you God for the love I see

Of friends who always surround me

Thank you for the sky so blue

And bringing me a miracle or two

 

Thank you God, in my heart you stay

For me, it has always been just that way

Thank you God, for the food you give

On this special day I still live

 

 

Thank you God for the air I breathe

For all the flowers and all the trees

Thank you God for the birds that sing

Thank you for letting me hear

Such beautiful things

Thank you God for my voice

That so many people read

About my life, in my poetry

Thank you this Thanksgiving Day

For giving me one more birthday

Thank you most of all, for creating me

So I could get close to those in need

Thank you God for holding my hand

Now I am alive, to write again.
