Thank you
for the sunshine
that warms
my face,
for the breeze
that carries
the cherry blossoms,
for the chirping birds
that greet the morning.
Thank you
for the booming thunder
that makes my bed feel
oh-so-cozy,
for the pattering rain
that soothes my spirit,
for the made-for-splashing
puddles
that no toddler can resist.
Thank you
for the colorful, crunchy
leaves raked into landing-zone piles,
for the pumpkins full of squishy guts
and seeds for toasting,
for the campfire-nights calling
for cuddling.
Thank you for the fluffy snowflakes
blanketing the earth on a silent morning,
for the frozen ponds
made for ice skating,
for the sub-zero temps
that call for hot cocoa.
Thank you for your beauty
in all seasons.
