Together, With Gratitude
Written from a thankful heart to the many people that have given care and help to us over the years (Sept 12, 2013).
Together, With Gratitude
Born in need,
Grown up to see
That it’s never really changed
Throughout our lives
Always our cries
Raised aloud for want and pang
Heart’s desire,
But what can transpire?
My hopes on me alone can’t hang
Then comes along
Someone with a similar song;
Suddenly the need’s defanged
A barrier once
First me, now us
And so no longer harangued
A vision seen,
Now reality’s been
Brought about through the mixing of hands
Tears and thanks:
Prayers and banks
Given for the sake of my plans?
What can I say
You’ve given this way
God among us truly does stand
On you go
Time after time you show
Your giving’s not just of one hand
Again and again
You offer, no end
What my heart and my life yet demand
I alone can’t supply
But you do, none deny
And thus have we formed a band
Not easily broken
Not trifle, mere token
In sync with our song and our plan
After a verse or two
I must tell you
Gratitude is the feeling I have
Thanksgiving
Vibrant living
Music singing
Soul uplifting
Because you came
And supplied
For my soul’s deepest cries.
