Thank You, Lord

(a boketto)

For husband, son and daughter

For a celebratory

dinner of steak and crab cakes

For forty years

we’ve been together

For his blue eyes and white beard

For his laughter and kisses

Thank You, Lord

For his distinctive rough voice

For his willingness to help

For his prayers for my safety

For his living

For his gratefulness

For the past good memories

For his mathematical mind

Thank You, Lord

For his tears when he is touched

For his compassion and love

For patience in his troubles

For his walker

For stroke survival

For him still being with me

For him being able to talk

Thank You, Lord
