Thankful

Can’t be wrong to offer up 
A simple prayer of hopeful thanks 
To God or Grace or Mother Earth 
To anyone who has an ear.

Just to say a humble word, 
To utter in subservience, 
To know that there is something 
In a somewhere out there far beyond

Makes me somehow something more, 
Lends a purpose, holds a key 
To open up the darkened door,
To shine a light on mystery.

Logic serves its own desire and 
Reason drives us to disdain 
While pundits offer soapbox theory 
In an effort to explain.

Believers need no explanation
As faith becomes a seventh sense 
Thankful for a guiding light,
Serene to know the difference.
