>Bush in late afternoon shadow scrolls handwriting on wall.
>Leaves like gold nuggets dance to earth

>Autumn rings its toll in carillon sound

>But every day sings of my thanksgiving to G-d –
>good health like manna rains in daily life
>as children voices laugh in falling wind
>angels disguised as strangers extend helping hand
>while sun sparkles at play in hide’n’seek sky
>work never bores but generates poems
>other mind pictures
>even dog screeches unconditional love
>as innocent as newborn babe’s first smile and
>friends ring with welcome dinner invitations
>abundant as clouds gathered on celestial ceiling.
>
>With these blessings I am grateful and offer
>every day thanksgiving day in proclamation to
> G-d.
