Even
though I clutch my blanket and growl when
the alarm rings, thank you, Lord, that I can hear.
There are many who are deaf.
Even
though I keep my eyes closed against the morning
light as long as possible, thank you, Lord, that
I can see.
Many are blind.
Even
though I huddle in my bed and put off rising,
thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedridden.
Even
though the first hour of my day is hectic,
when socks are lost, toast is burned and tempers
are short,
my children are so loud, thank you, Lord, for
my family.
There are many who are lonely.
Even
though our breakfast table never looks like
the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times
unbalanced,
thank you, Lord, for the food we have.
There are many who are hungry.
Even
though the routine of my job often is monotonous,
thank you, Lord,
for the opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.
Even
though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to
day
and wish my circumstances were not so modest,
thank you, Lord, for life.
