Claire V. Bogdanos

There are some times I am remiss

And bid goodbye without a kiss,

Today I want to give my thanks

For birds and trees and flowered banks

For sun that greets us every day

And rain that can get in the way !

A breeze that blows and stars that shine

These gifts from God, they’re yours, they’re mine.

I won’t forget how much it means

To taste the wind and smell the greens

I’ll say farewell to bygone days

And join that path to better ways !
