Thank you

Thank you

Thank you for the good times
even though
there was not a lack
of frightful ones
for me to make chimes
But still
thank you for the good times

When you have a good cook
there is always a messy kitchen
and thank you
for the great meals we took

We do not have days of just sunshine
We need rainy ones too
Likewise
deserts once held oceans
and oceans
rest on sand for sure

Why worry about bad times
or messy kitchens
and rainy days
or waterless plains?

I myself
thank the universe
for the good times
for it is best to overlook
as I read it
once in a book

Mother nature
soon held my hand
after the small while
she had let it go
Now I am grateful
for her guidance
through the meadow

There is a hug
for every tear
Thank you
for the good times
my dear
