The Earth Gives Thanks

  Thankful, grasses swish in breezes, Ponds give thanks ere water freezes, Tamaracks sigh benedictions, Cattails pray with deep convictions. Clouds that sail and geese that float On autumn air trace thank you notes As earth and sky and beasts conclude That living well is Gratitude.

Thankful, grasses swish in breezes,

Ponds give thanks ere water freezes,

Tamaracks sigh benedictions,

Cattails pray with deep convictions.

Clouds that sail and geese that float

On autumn air trace thank you notes

As earth and sky and beasts conclude

That living well is Gratitude.

      Aw, thanks. I have been adjusting to a new work load and haven’t had any ‘extra’ to give to fun projects for quite a while…

      Thank you! It was so much fun. We had a family over from El Salvador who had never had a traditional turkey dinner and THAT was a first!!
