There Is So Much to Be Thankful For

Next in the book, "Creeds of Faith and Inspiration", a collection of poems Edited by Robin Andrews. This is a long post...but the words in the poem are so good! Please read it all.

We don't often
take the time out of
our busy lives
to think about all
the beautiful things
and to be thankful for them.
If we did
reflect on these things
we would realize how very
lucky and fortunate we really are.

I am very thankful
for the love of my husband --
which is so complete and fulfilling
and is based on honesty, equality
intellectualism and romance.

I am very thankful
for the love of my children --
which is all encompassing
and is based on teaching, tenderness
sensitivity, caring and hugging.

I am very thankful
that I am able to love
and that the love is returned to me.

I am very thankful
that I am healthy
and that the people I love
are healthy.

I am very thankful
that I have dreams to follow
and goals to strive for.

I am very thankful
for the beauty of nature --
magnificent mountains
the colorful leaves
the smell of the flowers
the roaring of the waves
the setting sun
the rising moon.

Everywhere I look
I see the wonders of nature
and I feel so proud
to be a small part of it.
I am very thankful
for all the good people in the world
I am very thankful
that I have good friends.

I am very thankful
to be alive
in a time when
we can make the world
a better place
to live in.

-Susan Polis Schutz

Take Care and God Bless!
