Hi Leroy….a poem of thanks for you…<\/p>\n

When i awaken with each new day morn
\ni am thankful for the sunlights adorn
\nit means new opportunities are awaiting
\nfor me to partake in the joys of creating<\/p>\n

When i go to work at my place of employment
\ni take a deep breathe of sincere enjoyment
\nfor the appreciation of new life i am privileged to see
\nand the love surrounding each new family<\/p>\n

When i grow weary at the end of a day
\nin solitude i might choose to stay
\nor go to a place of quiet retreat
\ntill silence is heard or refresh is complete.<\/p>\n

When i contemplate all that i have been thru
\nits with a grateful heart that i think of you
\nfor the kindness or compassion that you represent
\nan angelic being of love truly heaven sent<\/p>\n

When my eyes close down finally for the night
\ni think of all i did that hopefully was right
\nand i thank God for the wonders of my day
\nthat i was blessed to experience life, loving it my way.<\/p>\n

Loving hugs, gisl<\/p>\n
