A Thankful Heart

Take nothing for granted,for whatever you do The "joy of enjoying" is lessened for you For we rob our own lives much more than we know When we fail to respond in any way to show Our thanks for the things that daily are ours The warmth of the sun,the fragrance of flowers The beauty of twilight,the freshness of dawn The coolness of dew on the green, velvet lawn The kind little deeds so thoughtfully done The favours of friends and the love of that someone Unselfishly gives us in a myriad of ways Expecting no payment and no words of praise Great is our loss when we no longer find A thankful response of this kind For the joy of enjoying and the fulness of living Are found in the heart that is filled with thanksgiving (c)Romeo. 2005.
