POEMS OF GRATITUDE > How Can I Thank Thee
Original version for a child
HOW CAN I THANK THEE How can I thank Thee For the trees in my yard The sound of the wind chimes And this beautiful child How can I thank Thee For this feeling inside For roses and daisies And this sweet little child How can I thank Thee For the warmth of the sun The colors of rainbows And this baby of mine How can I thank Thee For the stars in the sky For loving and learning And this baby of mine Oh, and how can I thank Thee For the things yet to come Meadows I’ve walked on And this child in my arms ©Artpeace Publishing 1999 |

HOW CAN I THANK THEE How can I thank Thee For the warmth of the sun The colors of rainbows And this journey of mine. How can I thank Thee For this feeling inside For roses and daisies Simple wonders of life How can I thank Thee For the stars in the sky For loving and learning, All Hellos and Goodbyes How can I thank Thee For the things yet to come Meadows I’ve walked on And this love in my arms. ©Artpeace Publishing 1999 |
