A Spark from another...

A Spark from another, originally uploaded by mitchcraft II

At times our own light goes out
and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude
of those who have lighted the flame within us.

~Albert Schweitzer

Give Thanks...

Early morning dawn
Mist swirls mid the trees
Dew heavy on the lawn
Awed I drop to my knees.

Suns rays filter through the haze
God’s gift of light so bright
Such a sight to amaze
God’s wondrous morning light.

Dazzled by His Blessings
I continue on my way
Giving praise and confessing
Giving thanks as I pray.

The trees that give us life
The oxygen that we need
Crisp air removes my strife
On His gifts my spirits feed.

Song birds sing His praise
While flowers bloom His colours
These gifts I do appraise
And give thanks that it’s all ours.
