NEVER TOO LATE TO SAY THANKYOU

I Am Thankful For

clear blue skies and
spring fragrance of clove currant
and lily of the valley

snow that melts
for tulips pushing through
thawing dirt

birds and butterflies
resting in the
afternoon sun

sounds of children’s laughter
and their parents
joining in

the warm touch of
my love’s hand
a glance from her brown eyes

people who live peace
brave ones who
dare follow them

remembering places
where I have been and
with whom
I have journeyed

roads that lead nowhere
and time to
explore them
