Today, I Give Thanks

I am thankful for small streams stitched-through with trout

For quiet moments without cause

For green pine boughs holding snow

I give thanks to friends in agreement

And friends who may have lost their way

Thanks for little ones toddling toward us

And the old ones shuffling away

Thanks for the sunlight that paints colors in all corners

Thanks for every night that brings every day.
