grateful.

The gift of another day.
I'm grateful. And humbled & filled with remorse for forgetting.
The thousands of other days and gifts.

The sun comes up. The lakes and rivers are filled. The earth is green and life is sustained.
But not just a sustained life have You given. An abundant life!
Overflowing.
The tears fill my eyes as I realize
the gifts I've forgotten.

A day of peace.
To read & relax.
A refuge.
The one I love coming home.
And home is here with me.
For a friend who knows me so well. And accepts me still.
For poetry. The Psalms.

For the squirrels & the flowers & the birds faithfully singing Your praise.
Regardless of who is listening.
Of who notices.
They continue to sing; the trees point to You.

And I have been given a glimpse.
A glimpse of the daily symphony I forget to listen to.

Today, I sing.
