Thinkful.

For clean, blue sky; for grass that grows.
In my lungs; beneath my toes.
Of flower and nature, of weather and light,
I will be thinkful. And thankful.

For ice cream cones; for fast food stops.
Food in my pantry; in the school lunch box.
Of turkey and potatoes, of hot coffee, iced tea,
I shall be thinkful. And thankful.

For laughter and silence, for all in between;
For laundry that’s folded, a house that is clean;
For fingerprints and milk spills, for lost homework and grass stains,
I am thinkful. And thankful.

For memory lane and for yesteryear,
For hope in a future that’s not yet here.
Of opportunities given, of priveleges shared,
I shall be thinkful. And be thankful.
