written around Thanksgiving time and also during the time I was working on a love scene in my novel

“Thanks Giving”

Every moment of every day
I thank God

I thank God
For giving me arms
So I can hold you close

I thank God
For giving me eyes
So I can see your lovely face

I thank God
For giving me ears
So I can hear you say, “I love you”

I thank God
For giving me lips
So I can kiss you

I thank God
For giving me a tongue
So I can speak your sweet name

I thank God
For giving me a mind
So I can only think of you

I thank God
For giving me a heart
So I can feel this way about you

I thank God
For giving us night
So we can fall asleep together

I thank God
For giving us morning
So I can awaken
To find you still sleeping next to me

But most of all
I thank God
For giving me you
