Analysis of The Provider



Give thanks to God though you lack wealth,
Because of family, friends, and health!
Say thanks you have legs to walk,
As well as a voice to talk.

These are the kinds of things that we
Will take for granted easily,
When we should daily thank our God
Who blesses us though we are flawed.
