Gratitude

Thank you, such simple words,
  thank you for the day.
Thank you for the way the light
  plays in the sanctuary,
Always different, forever the
  calming force in the soul.
Thank you for the people who
  help, the ones who pitch in
Without even being asked. A gift
  of love and support, to get us
Through. Thank you for the warmth,
  the colors vibrant in spring.
Showing us out of death comes
  new life, new possibilities
Of faith to come, just hold on.
  thank you for excitement.
The wonder of things yet to be,
  where we lay our hand in
Knowing something good is yet
  to come and be among us.
Such a simple phrase and yet
  it makes all the difference.
