Getting to the Place of Thank You

My Love,

Help me to get to the place of thank you.

The beautiful place where I can see you
in the delicate pink and soft yellow blooms.

The sweet place where I can hear you
in the tiny, innocent chirps in the nearby nest.

The quiet place where I can feel you
in the surrendered depths of my soul.

The grateful place where I am filled
with peace
with hope
with love.

My Love,

Help me to get to the place
where I breathe in your love
place my hands on my heart
and exhale - thank you.
