"Thank-You"




It’s all I have,
There should be more
For all You say and do 
But all that I can think of, 
Lord, 
Is simply this;  
“Thank You” 

The same word that I give to those
Who hold a door or lend a hand
Is the word that I use
For You 
and Your shed blood
But oh,
You understand
"Thank-you"

  1. I actually have this Jim Reeves album, passed down from my parents. His voice is one of the purest I've ever heard, and such meaningful songs. I enjoyed your poem.

    1. You are so lucky to have this album. i have a few of his but not his one. He was surely a treasure gone too soon, yet never really gone. His voice lives on and I am glad because there is no other quite like it!

      Thank-you Gayle!
