How can I 
thank You
enough
for the abundance 
You have provided?
What I didn’t even know 
I needed
has risen up within me;
those I didn’t even know 
knew me
have simply appeared.
Well before 
moments of emptiness
swallowed me whole,
Your mercy 
has provided
a protective bubble
of
perfect parking spots
kind cashiers
helpful strangers
and 
bouncy pets (mine and others),
boosting serotonin
and drawing me near.
How can I 
thank You 
enough
for this abundance
that has held me
gently
like a hammock
in the autumn sun
providing only 
a view of 
softly colored trees
and
the love of
a warm afternoon breeze?
How can I 
thank You 
enough 
as my heart 
spills over
with tears
and 
the days 
feel more
like years?
I cannot;
so I will simply say - 
please don’t stop.
