Thanks

From "Writings" by Carrie "Cree" Probst ©1985

Thanks

Give thanks for what?
Can you raise your eyes,
For the gorgeous blue of the morning skies,
Or see the glory of God's sunrise
And not give thanks?

Give thanks for what?
Can you gaze and see
A blade of grass or a stately tree
A butterfly or a humming bee
And not give thanks?

Give thanks for what?
Can you dry a tear
From a little face that presses near
Or hold in your arms the form so dear
And not give thanks?

Give thanks for what?
Can you see at night
The stars pinned round
With the moon for light
And feel that God makes all things right
And not give thanks?
