To the Maker--

Thank You
For this perfect world
and its sunlight and gravity.

Thank You
For its blue skies
And the artwork of Your clouds,
the music of Your storms.

Thank You
For cool blue waters to bathe in,
For warm sand to rest upon.

Thank You
For the company of Your creations,
The strength of the horses,
The loyalty of the dogs,
The songs of the birds,
And each gift of the others.

Thank You
for Your forgiveness
for free will to choose our destinies
and giving us the minds to survive.

Thank You
For a good family
And a strong country
And for the friends and lovers.

Although our lives
are as grains of sand on a beach,
Although our lives
come and go
in a blink of Your eyes...

Thank You for mine.
