Thank You Giving

Thank you to tall, tall conifer trees

and the smell of chimney smoke

as I walk in the rain.

Thank you for clear water

laughing its way

down the creek

as if to say……you cannot stop me today.

Thank you for the color yellow

showing off

as leaves dancing free style

in the wind……. giggling in joy, riding for free.

They land at my feet

looking up at me

and the sky

smiling into the rain.

Thank you for true green

in ferns clearly marking my wooded path.

Thank you for clouds

gray, white, black.

Thank you.

Thank you for your continual giving.

Giving us changing beauty and contrast.

Giving us texture and sound.

Giving variety to a variety of us.

Giving without losing yourself.

Giving happy for free.
