A Small Poem of Thanks

6/3/2011

0 Comments

 
A small poem of thanks for the good in this life
   A park bench in the sun thinking "isn't this nice"
A small child's laughter that rings of pure joy
   A lover's caress that's the real McCoy

For although there be ills and evils around
   Villains and thieves achieving renown
Crooks walking free, murderers get away
   None can compete with a beautiful day

I thanks all the trees for being so green
   I thank all the flowers for their color's seen
I thanks all the birds for the songs in my ears
   I thanks all the sadness for the truth in my tears

Music and painting and sculpture oh my
   Machines that allow us to reach for the sky
Computers connect with no distance to great
   Plants, animals and farmers who make hunger abate

The kindness of strangers
The empathy of friends
Respecting the dangers
A big thanks to send

For this body is strong
This breath keeps on breathing
This life it is great
And all love is receiving

Thank You.

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
