If not for Life's gifts
I would have never experienced all its Subtleties
the Heart felt joys, love, laughter
the agonizing Pain, loss and Sorrows,
the Ecstasy of woman warm upon my flesh,
cool whispering Winds, natures Peaceful melodies,
laboring to Exhaustion,
the Embrace of a child,
Trust of another,
I give Thanks for all things
Past, Present, Future
