A Prayer of Thanksgiving

My God, Thank You for always being near

My God, Thank You,

For You always hold me so dear

You care for me so

And You will never let go

Numbered are the hairs on my head

While I am awake

And even while I am in bed

King Jesus, You will never give up

Even when I fail

Or don’t measure up

My Lord and Savior, You love me so

And deep in my heart, I know

You will never leave me, 

You will never go

Father God, I praise you with all of my being

In my heart and soul, I will praise You

Even after it’s You I am seeing

With mine eyes

For eternity

And for all time

Peace

He awakens to the sound of birds singing their Praises

Up from his slumber he raises

He straps on his boots

Out from his tent he arises

Peaking through the clouds

The early morning sun shines

The fresh morning dew

Glistens on the bright orange leaves

Of the Sugar Maple trees

His breath he sees

In the crisp Autumn morning air

He inhales deeply

Cleansing his lungs of the dirty city smog

That usually surrounds him like a fog

A bright red cardinal sits in the branches

A deer is drinking from the babbling brook

And he is one with nature

In his soul he finds happiness

And peace
