Dear Lord,
I kneel in front of you
Glorifying and praising
you.
I thank you
for your countless
blessings
and for all the
kindness
that is overflowing.
Amidst all the
hardships
dear Lord,
I thank you for taking
me
always into your arms.
Amidst all trials and
challenges,
between rejection and
disappointment,
your merciful arms
lifted me up from my
loneliness.
My God,
I thank you
for each day that I am
alive,
for a bright morning
because of sunlight,
and for a refreshing
day ahead of my life.
I thank you
for all the luxuries of
life,
for the possessions and
most especially
for taking me out of
strife.
I thank you
for every mistake I’ve
committed
and learned that life
is worth living
despite all the
disappointments.
I thank you
for all the people
around me,
for the daily joy and
happenings,
and for making my day
always worth
remembering.
I thank you
for making me valiant
and tough,
at the same time for
giving me
a heart that is capable
to love.
I thank you
for tracing smile on my
face
and for putting a
rainbow
after every crying.
I thank you
for giving me pals
around,
to guide me and make me
feel loved and cared
and for making me happy
because of the love
they shared.
I thank you
that I have a house and
a home.
I thank you that I
don’t feel hunger,
because foods are ample
everywhere.
I thank you
that I have my family
beside me.
A family that is always
there,
constantly and
unselfishly
showing me that they
care.
A family I treasure the
most,
who brings me back to
life
when I am almost lost.
I thank you
for giving me special
someone beside me,
whom I’ll live with and
grow old with,
whose arms will always
wrap around me
and whose heart will
always love me.
Most of all,
I thank you
for giving me the most
valuable gift.
Thank you
for giving me a
precious angel.
The reason of my
existence
and the fruit of all my
endurance.
