Days To Come

Thank you for life, my Jesus Thank you for fires and pine-laden breezes Thank you rainy days and puppy dogs Thank you for starry skies and newborns Thank you for ocean spray Thank you for ripe fruit and fresh milk Thank you for all my senses Thank you for ten fingers and ten toes Thank you for all thirty-two teeth Thank you for words of beauty Thank you for landscapes that grace the soul Thank you, Lord for very single second Thank you even for the confusion Thank you even for the pain Thank you, for saving me Thank you, through every trial Thank you for bringing me home again Thank you for Life, Lord Jesus Thank you for little lambs that play Thank you for the music of children's voice's Thank you for the leaves upon the trees Thank you for the rushing rivers Thank you the rounded rocks beneath Thank you of the strength to start each day Thank you for the love of all who hold me Thank you for the chance to give it back Thank you for walking here among us Thank you, so we could know you Thank you, and know your road Thank you for coming in those moments Thank you, when all seems lost Thank you, when I'm ready to cave in Thank you for life, I do not understand it Thank you, Jesus, for many days to come -Stephen Pursell, 3/9/03
