Red breasted Robins,
are a sign that Spring is here.
A beautiful sight.

Hazy muddy puddles
Glorious smiles brown and clear
Children frolic’n roll

In the spring and in the autumn,
in the calm and in the storm.
I give thanks to You, O Lord.

In my sorrow and in my joy,
in times of bounty and times of uncertainty.
I give thanks to You, O Lord.

In times of darkness.
In times of sickness.
In times of abundance.
In times of youthful vitality.

In times when I do not understand why.

I give thanks to You, O Lord.

In days of rest; and days of stress.
In days of struggle; and days of hopefulness.
I give thanks to You, O Lord.

In every season.
In every season.
I give thanks to You, O Lord.
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord,
unto me. (Thomas Chisholm, 1923)
I give thanks.
To Thee.

humbled like children
we embrace the Sustainer
letting go of self

You see I’ve noticed,
That when you smile or you laugh,
You look at the floor.

You see I’ve noticed,
That everyone before me
Walked all over you.

But you have noticed,
The only image you see
In reflected eyes,

Is me walking you
Down the aisle, to start the new
Chapter together.
