GRATEFUL

While walking the dogs in the park today,
I got to thinking 'bout how I ought to pray.

I'm seeing trees, tall and full and wide,
And luscious green grass'n a blue, blue sky.

I'm thinking of this land and the peacefulness that surrounds,
No bullets flying or bombs exploding on the ground.

Lord what should I be thanking you for first,
The fact I can walk or that I have no thrist?

Bless those 'round the world hurting through'n through,
I appreciate my blessings, I really, really do.

But here's what I'm praying to truly ask you for,
Heal hurting citizens and soldiers fighting wars!
