Dear Lord,
I would like to thank you for the small joys of this day
For the silky blue of the sky, for the hot sun
For the white puffy clouds
For the letter in which it said: “I will pray for you”
I want to thank you for life and our health
For your love and goodness
To us each day
And for watching over us during the night
Thank you for the soft sound of the rustling palm leaves,
For the fragrance of the jasmine and the blooming gardenia
For the bright beauty of a hibiscus blossom,
For the flaming red of the bougainvillea
I want to thank you Lord, for the gentle sound of the waves
Against the seawall
The glitter of the sun on the water
And the magnificent sunsets
Thank you for the beauty of the seagull in flight
And the flight of the pelicans overhead
For your gift of this little piece of paradise
Here for us on Marco Island!
For ALL these joys I want to thank you
OH LORD, MY GOD
