Thank God
I sit still at my window
The sun shines on the glass
It bounces back across the yard
And glistens through the grass
I watch a little bird in flight
The clouds crawl through the sky
I take my cup and drink it up
While petals on the wind drift by
Nature stands outside my door
The best things in life are free
And so I say, "Thank you God
For sharing your world with me."
