Gifts Indeed

While I long for the laughter of littles

I revel in the tender passion

the One and Only has reserved

for me.

The quiet, peaceful silence;

the beauty of lonely days

filled with blessing only

I can see.

Though much has not been given

I thank the One for all,

to have and have not

are gifts indeed.

So in word I praise

with my hands I raise

a heart and a mind of

thankfulness.
