All of my life
I have witnessed thanks being given.
It has always been modeled.
From grace before meals,
To appreciation and respect for what we have.
I can close my eyes and see familiar faces
In profile
Or across from me,
And see the familiar pose of thanks.
In my world,
It is head bowed,
Hands clasped,
And thanks expressed.
My life is filled
With portraits of thankfulness.
Another day to give thanks.
Amen.
