Just a Thank You

Dear Lord, 

Thank you.

For girls who catch my eyes and capture my heart

For blazing gold painted hills

Songs on the radio

The smell of autumn

And raindrops turned gems on a dark drive home

For tears

And the relief they bring

For struggles

Uncomfortable days that stretch me

For clouds that scuttle across the dripping sky

For feedback so I know this life is actually moving forward

Worn work boots and the strong-humble people wearing them

For polka dots

And I could go on and on

Because you've blessed me so much, Lord. 

Help me to keep going, 

keep thanking,

as the days fly past.

Help me to snag the smiles and laughter 

In a blessed net of thanks.
