I Am Grateful

In he that created me
and gave me free will.
Instilled in me a sense of pride.
Blessed me with a healthy
body and sound mind.

Created in me a sense of purpose.
Imprinted in my heart a true
road map to peace and happiness.

I am grateful for my ability
to smell the perfumed flowers
that nature created and
painted so perfectly.

I am graeful for the use
of all my limbs that allows
me to take long walks
thru the fertile fields.

I am grateful for my sense
of hearing, that I may enjoy
the songs of the Mocking bird.

I am grateful for my sense of
feeling and smell when I touch
the Roses in my mother's garden.
