Every Time I See

Be grateful for the things that the Lord provides and tell Him so. I did in the poem that I provided for your enjoyment today.

I wanted to tell you, Lord, that I am

Grateful for every time I see an eagle

Lift its majestic wings and soar toward the sky

Every time I see a butterfly flit on the wings

Of the wind as it passes me by

Every spring when I see the hummingbirds

To my patio doors, once again, find their way

Every time I feel a cooling breeze on a hot summer day

Every time I walk upon the green grass

That You prepared as a cushion for my feet

Every time I see the ocean, hear thunder

Or see and hear a towering waterfall

Every time I see the winter snowflakes

That blanket my world in white

Every time I see a new carpet of leaves that swirl

In the breeze to every child's delight

I am reminded to be grateful

For You, the Creator, Who orchestrated it all.

Grateful that You love me enough to tie

Yourself to me through prayer

Grateful that You are always by my side

When I need You there

So, I am proud to be Your serving child

Winter, summer, spring or fall

For, You, are my God, my All In All!
