A Monday Morning Prayer

I thank you O God, for the pleasures you have given me through my senses;
for the glory of thunder, for the mystery of music,
the singing of birds and the laughter of children.
I thank you for the delights of color,
the awe of the sunset,
the wild roses in the hedgerows...
I thank you for the sweetness of flowers and the scent of hay.
Truly, O Lord, the earth is full of your riches!
-Edward King
