In appreciation

Thank you Lord, for light blue skies,
for fresh green leaves and rain that cleanses,

for life itself, to love, to breath, to feel,
to laugh, to cry, to smile, to sing,

for friends that accept you, that make you smile and tease,
who are willing to know you, to care,

for family and people around,
who make a difference just by being there,

for Your saving grace o' Lord,
to someone not worthy, imperfect and unwhole,

and for taking the dirty and making it clean again,
to look at what the world did not see,

and to make the speck of dust into a gem.
