THANK YOU
for all my hands can hold
apples red
and melons gold
yellow corn
both ripe and sweet
peas and beans
so good to eat!
THANK YOU
for all my eyes can see
lovely sunlight
field and tree
white cloud-boats
in sea-deep sky
soaring bird
and butterfly.
THANK YOU
for all my ears can hear--
birds' song echoing
far and near
songs of little
stream, big sea
cricket, bullfrog
duck and bee!
