Thankful

For each new morning with its light;

For rest and shelter of the night;

For health and food, for love and friends;

For everything Thy goodness sends;

For flowers that bloom about our feet;

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;

For song of bird, and hum of bee;

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in Heaven,

We Thank Thee!

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
