Thank You

For the moms that heal 
Wounds and hearts we thank you 
To the sun and moon 
Our bright reminder of life 
We say thank you 
As we share our secrets 
With the pen and paper, we thank you 
From the treetops where the bird’s nest lies 
To the ground where the beautiful flowers flourish 
We say thank you 
While the clouds hold the calm rain 
In their comforting arms, we say thank you 
And to the road signs that tell us 
Where we’ve come from and where we’re going 
We thank you 
When we sit on the wooden benches 
And watch the stars twinkle we say thank you 
For the houses protecting the families 
From the winds that carry danger 
We thank you 
Though the stars do not shine 
As bright for you anymore 
We are saying thank you 
 


The author's comments:

This poem was inspired by Thanks by W.S. Merwin. I was instructed to reflect on objects that are not normally shown gratitude as I write. After I finished writing I read over the poem and felt a rush of happiness and thankfulness for the little things in life that aren't often shown appreciation.
