Thankful Poem by Brian Bailey

I am thankful for big, broad smiles and golden sunsets. I am filled with wonder, awe and amazement whenever I view a beautiful night sky, saturated with brightly shining stars. I become so very hopeful when I watch someone perform a good deed for another human being. Thank you for springtime, when everything is bursting with renewed hope and vibrancy, giving everyone a chance for new beginnings.

Thanks for hot summer days and fast-flowing streams, which offer refreshment and coolness. Thank you for lush green grass and the game of golf as well. Thanks for friendships, kindness, compassion, caring and love. Thank you also for perfection and imperfection, strength as well as weakness, confidence and insecurity. For all these various components can work in harmony to bring people closer together.
