Howdy,

I'm my mom's caregiver since her May 04 fall resulting in broken hips. This is Mama today. So, at her request:

My mother found this small poem among her belongings. She's had it for many, many years and asked if it were OK to share it with you all.

Of course, Mama

Thank you, God for little things
That often come our way
The things we take for granted
But don't mention when we pray

The unexpected courtesy
The thoughtful, kindly deed
A hand reached out to help us
In the time of sudden need

Oh, make us more aware, dear God
Of little daily graces
That come to us with Sweet Surprise
From never-dreamed-of places

The Rez

PS: This may be a Christian prayer, but gratefullness is open to all to practice.

It was a Beautiful Rainbow
A Beautiful Time in my Life
A Thing to Share - a Time to Care
To be Alive
