I Give Thanks

 I gives thanks for Autumn days

and for Springtime's flower displays;

Mist that rises in the early morn -

And a sun filled day new-born.

Murmuring brooks and streams that flow

Shining stars and bright moon-glow

Shelter from a frightening storm -

A happy home to keep me warm.

Loved ones ever close to me,

Friends to keep me company;

Twilight time that's all aglow -

Memories that overflow.

I give thanks that I reside

In the American countryside;

For happiness as twilight nears -

As I enfold life's souvenirs.

~ Nora M. Bozeman

Give thanks

to the Lord,

call upon His name,

make known among

the people, His deeds.

1 Chr. 16:8
