Thank You, Lord, for simple things
That money just can’t buy:
Love, health, happiness
And the beauty of the sky.
Family, friends and gentle pets
Are blessings in disguise;
A mother who is wonderful,
A father who is wise.
Thank You for the basics:
Food, clothes, a home.
Also for the things unique
Like waves with white foam.
It’s not always the big things—
The noble and elite—
But at times, the simple things
That make life complete.

This is very well written, Sally. The content is superb. If all of us could be just a bit more grateful for the simple things of life, life could be great
