Gratitude Galore.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

the bees are thankful for the
nectar of the early morning flowers

blooming to the softness of the
rays of the sun

the butterflies too are grateful
in their fragile wings floating in the air

and so are the trees to the rain that falls
the mountains and the seas

and so are the stars thankful for the darkest nights
which gave them their brightest gleams

i am thankful too
to God in His greatest glory
for all the blessings received

pouring in softness like light
in the dryness of my skin
