We Give Thanks

This universe binds us, joins and protects us all,
strengthens and enlightens, saves us when we fall...
it keeps us grounded and lets us soar,
it keeps us humble and lets us roar...

For this, respect must be embraced,
for this, duty must be willingly faced;
for this, pride must be humbly surrendered,
for this, thanks must be joyfully tendered...

For the darkness and the light,
for our mighty tenderness and tender might...
we give thanks.

For the stars in the heavens above
and the stars in the eyes of those we love...
we give thanks.

For the songs that give us wing from the start
and the songs that fill the crevices of every heart...
we give thanks.

For the sweet darkness and the calming light,
the amazing warmth of day, the healing cool of night,
we give thanks.

For all this and so much more...
we give thanks;
over and over, we give thanks...
Amen.
