Thank You Lord

This is a poem that has bounced around in my head for years. While driving, I would try to see how many verses I could make up. The lines and order has changed over time and sometimes I caught myself repeating some parts, but I finally decided to put it in writing. No words will every truly show my thankfulness for what God has done in my life. And, writing for the love of God, has brought me so many new opportunities. Please feel free to add your own verses. Now, if I could only sing and put music to it. May it leave you with thankfulness in your heart. Ephesians 5:20 says, "Always give thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
