Thank God
For small mercies—
Man can't have
All his wishes;
With just half
He often doubles
His storehouse of
Needless troubles!

Topic: god, thanks-giving
God is always merciful. Man can't understand appropriately. This is a beautiful poem on God. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks Kumarmaniji. Bri has also said the same thing in a different way.
So, we should thank God because SHE does not grant all of our wishes, knowing how much trouble that would cause us? ? ? i guess that is probably why my wife is so niggardly/stingy/'cheap' in granting my wishes e.g. not allowing me to eat ice cream at EVERY meal! ! ! :) Come to Bri for BIG mercies! ! to MyPoemList. bri :)
Thanks dear Bri, for 'to My Poem List'. I have noted, you have given God a pronoun of 'she', and why not. Wife is no less than God here, if not for the hereafter. As to thanking God, you have, Creative Brain, opened up a new angle, and a very valid one. Last, there is something for you in my comments below.
