Poetry
How can I say thank you?
Can I say thank you when a friend is ill,
while she tries each day to be positive still?
Can I say thank you when a young mother dies
and I watch helplessly as her family cries?
Can I say thank you when falsely accused
and feel my intentions are greatly abused?
Can I say thank you as my health starts to fail
and mortality falls like a thick dark vale?
Can I say thank you when trouble is near
and my hearts stops as I tremble with fear?
Can I say thank you for tears that leave faces wet
when it seems their basic needs cannot be met?
Yes, I must say thank you for all these things
for they draw me closer to the King of Kings!
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. "
I Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)
