Thanksgiving

Our hearts,
like coffers of rich harvest,
must first be filled:
filled to the brim and overflowing
with such love
for All That Is,
that we can trust
that all is meant to help
and not to hinder,
that always good abides,
then surely,
like warm sunshine
and cool refreshing rain,
our thanks
are needed nourishment
and shared with us again.
