Thankfulness

Praise flows to you O Lord

As the rivers hurry to the seas

Continual, perpetual gurgling motion

Tumbling thrilling rock and greisen

Swelling flood and icy floe

White laced rapids and eddies go

At this sodden passage on its way

Earth sidelined applauds

The rushing echo of its spray

Our lives are rivers, rushing home,

Time the carrier, flecked with foam

On my journey, rock and rill

Harried passage, vale and hill

May the measured mileage of all my days

Be to you eternal praise
