GOD’S BEEN GOOD TO ME

I’m mindful of the blessings

That come my way each day.

My heart is over flowing

Each time I kneel to pray.

I’m thankful for the seasons; each one’s a masterpiece.

I’m allowed to work the land but God still holds the lease.

I’m grateful for the friendships that brighten sorrow’s way

Because my cup of happiness sustains me every day.

I love the children and the flowers that decorate my life

And the quiet, gentle hours free from worry and strife.

I’m grateful for eyes that see the beauty of it all

Because God’s been good to me and blessed me through it all.

I’m thankful for the little things that fill my life with love.

The best things in life are free; they come from God Above.
