thank you

thank you lord for this rainy day

without which i would have not had time

to find joy in the current setting

of the life we were given to live, just once


thank you lord for the rain, scars, and the shadows,

for the silence without which i would never have 

appreciated the desert of pain, the light i have been bathing in 

and the music of the morning birds


thank you lord for this rainy day

when i count my friends round the table, 

and pour bitter coffee in unmatched cups 

as we get ready to sing and sweeten the day


thank you lord, even if i do not know how to pray

i know the night will crack open

and make room for the day

with the hands of love, and force of joy


bring it on, this new day
