Thankful Thursday

When I enter my garden at daybreak
as the first rays of light appear.
I listen  to sweet sounds of birdsong
and I thank the Lord I can hear.

In my garden during the morning
as the rays of the sun grow bright.
I look around at the beauty
and then I give thanks for my sight.

In the afternoon in my garden
the garden which I love so much.
When I feel the soft green foliage
I give thanks for my sense of touch.

The fallen leaves in my garden
are much too precious to waste.
They nourish the vegetables and fruits
which I thank the Lord I can taste.
                                                 anon.
