Penned Gratitude

Thank God for tears
Or we would’ve imploded
Thank God for moans
When a deep sigh wouldn't suffice
Thank God for groans
When words couldn't be uttered

Thank God for hugs
To abate indescribable emotions
Thank God for smiles
That reassure the wounded heart
Thank God for shoulders to lean on
When the head gets too heavy

Thank God for art
They find the broken spirits
Thank God for music
That prompts varied feelings
Thank God for sounds that soothe
They dull the aching heart

Thank God for nature
To pronounce God’s glory
Thank God for gifts
When we needed to self-soothe
Thank God for favour
When we almost gave up

Thank God
