'Thank You God' Poem by Linda Winchell

With grateful heart, I thank you God
While I bow my head in prayer.
I thank you for, my family and friends
and all the memories that we've shared.

I thank you for each grandchild
they make me, oh so proud.
I thank you for that husband of mine
they all make, such a happy crowd!

I'm thankful for the home we built
on the land, we both love so.
Our walks beside our spring fed pond
through the leaves, and their caressing, of our toes.

I love when we catch the sight of a deer
when frost tinges, Autumn air.
Where I often listen in the night
to sounds, as they're filling night air.

A whippoorwill, coyotes, and our favorite goats bawl
and his brothers comforting sound of reassurance
echoing through it all.

I often walk in the night
beneath skies, stars so bright.
And as the moon gleams brightly above
giving off, the bright of light.

Just thank you God, for always listening
In my lonley hours and times
And hearing all the prayers I send
and the ones, I have put to rhyme.
