Thanksgiving - Poem by Richard Wlodarski
O Lord Creator
Today I give thanks
For so much in life:
Two eyes witnessing
Birth of Creation
Two ears hearing
Nature's symphony
A mouth tasting
Life's abundance
A nose smelling
All that is good
Two feet walking
In others' shoes
Two hands welcoming
God's friendly neighbours
And One Heart
Shared with God

Yes He did, Akhtar! Thank you for your positive insightful comment.
Your soul is noble, dear poet. Only a kind creature of the Creator could be so thankful but a kinder one will publicly appear so like you do here. Sweets lines of an elegant homage from a high-born human you've got.

food, right? i hope so. but it makes me stop and think: does ice cream have an aroma? i eat it too fast, perhaps, to ever have noticed; really.
others' shoes? what are the others wearing if YOU are wearing THEIR shoes? ? ? !
who are God's neighbors?
i am thankful for what i have: callouses on my soles, cavities in my teeth, pain in my back, R. Wlodarski and others on PH. but i don't know who to thank for them. i lost belief in God years ago and He has not come knocking on my door since. sure, the LDS and Witnesses have knocked.

Bri, I must admit that you have very unique creative feedback which I like. I'm working on feeding my thoughts into the computer and having it create my poems. That way, I'll be able to generate a few thousand every day. Although I'm kidding, this technology already exists. Scary thought!
With respect to God, you might consider wanting to revisit that issue sometime in the future. If not, just give thanks to the universe. Thank you for your support and encouragement. And for your sense of humour. Greatly appreciated!

A thankful heart is a precious gift! In a heart filled with gratitude, there can be no room for regrets. Only a person of humility will be able to thank God for whatever he has received normally from Him! This soulful write is much appreciated! A 10 (Report)Reply

Nosheen, thank you so much.
Simple, sweet and soulful. Words about things we are endowed with but we seldom think about.
Amazing Thanksgiving poem. Thanks. (Report)Reply
Rajnish, thank you so very much for believing it to be amazing.
Richard, I agree with Robert below the POSITIVITY of your poem shines a light for all of us. You in a sense reverse
the story of GENESIS. Instead of describing the events of creation in order of time, you start with the last - MAN - and detail his physical form and how each body part is related to something spiritual, reflecting the Creator. You reveal the very form of a man shows how God created him and that it is natural for man to then worship his Creator. My words are clumsy but the imagery of your poem does this in a crystal clear way. You should show this to a pastor of the church you attend. This would make a wonderful teaching tool for adults as well as children. (Report)Reply
Daniel, I am deeply humbled and greatly honoured. Very deeply moved by your feedback. One or two of my poems have been read in church, so I like your suggestion very much. Thank you so very much for your very positive and insightful comments.
