Thank You, God a poem by Edna Abbott

Thank You God, for loving me
and giving me Your peace,
There is no other thing on earth
that gives such sweet release
For when my heart is heavy
and burdened down with care
I find you never fail me,
in fact, You're always there.

I have a lot of friends on earth
who help when life gets tough,
And though at times they help a lot
sometime it's not enough
And so You see I need You, Lord,
to care for me each day
So I will kinda' keep in touch
each evening when I pray.

I really have a lot of things
I'd like to thank You for
And while I think on it a bit
I'll mention three or four:
I thank You for my family,
for the flowers and the trees,
I thank you for the sunsets
and the gentle evening breeze.

I also have some neighbors
who are very nice to me,
With all the good things that You give
I'm blest as I can be.
And so my soul will thank You, Lord,
my heart will have a song
Because You're watching over me
all night and all day long.

TREES

Trees are probably one of the best gifts Mother Earth has given us. It
ranks right up there with air and water. Just think of all the wonderful things trees offer us...shelter and shade, whistling wind and rustling leaves, health and beauty, fruits and wood, tree houses and swings, birds and monkeys, autumn colors and winter spectacles..only to name a few.

I just love trees.
