Today with thanks you adorn this home, <br />Rubbing voices to curl in shells of ears <br />While hearts dance like electricity, <br />Lighting the gates of heaven - <br />And Baal, our mighty oak, fallen, springs <br />From acorn green shoots into little lives. <br /> <br />Today with thanks we stretch with dad, <br />Misty hands in appreciation for <br />Your support shown unreservedly, <br />With love that binds and seals it - <br />You are stars that dazzle darkness, <br />Like moonlight in twinkling disguise. <br /> <br />Today with thanks know that such friends <br />And family as you, formed our path; <br />Today with thanks you cared for us - <br />And turned heads with your fragrance of life. <br />Tomorrow, we'll cross the Rubicon.... <br />And into glory sweep.<br /><br />Robert Dummett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/today-with-thanks/
