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.
