It's time to give thanks

It is time to give thanks


To life’s little wonders
That let me live in peace
And living separateness
It’s time to give thanks.

To the bright sunlit days
To blissful restful nights
To the harmony of seasons
For a year of health and peace,

To friends and loved ones
Who stood by me in joy and sadness
To countless acquaintances
That brought me new awareness,

To those with quiet effulgence
With kind words, thoughts and deeds
And to those with no malice
Cruelty or cold indifference,

To the warm-hearted
To the sensible-minded
To the selfless
To the gracious,

To all those precious
People whose concerns
Are only for others
It’s time to give thanks.
