Thank You, God

Thank You, God,

For blue skies and fluffy clouds;

For white and brown and black dogs lying in a spot of sunshine;

For fragile green shoots starting to show in a flower bed;

For a warmish breeze coming in through an open window;

For white and pink buds on a neighbor's tree;

For a chance to throw open doors and blinds and windows and sweep away the winter's grime.

Thank You, God, For Spring!
