Thankful For The Forest And Henry David Thoreau Poem by Jim Yerman

May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.

Today I'm thankful when in the forest wherever I may go
how I'm reminded of the words of Henry David Thoreau

In the forest from out of nowhere his words come to me with ease
"When I take a walk into the woods, "he said,
I come out taller than the trees."
