Thank you lord
For friendly people
Who walking their dogs
Stop and chat
And share the moment
———
Bless you lord
For the wind
That carries butterflies
On unseen currents
And captures the moment
———-
Praise you lord
For children playing
Who beam with joy
And carefree laughter
And enjoy the moment
———
Bless you lord
For shades of green
That fills me with wonder
And catches my eye
And steals the moment
———-
Thank you lord
For my wife
Who sits beside me
And holds my hand
And shares the moment

This is just beautiful. There is so much to be thankful in life; and your wonderful examples trigger my own thoughts of thankfulness for all that is! And isn’t it a lesson for us adults to enjoy the moments as children do!!
