Gratitude

Thank You for the prophet manifestations
who reveal Your attributes:
Thank You for the Pen of Glory,
for the Gate of God,
for the Seal of the Prophets,
for the Anointed One,
for the Father of the Faithful and the Friend of God,
for Krishna, Buddha and Zoroaster,
and any I haven’t named.

Thank You for these Mirrors of Faith,
those who reveal Divine attributes
and bring laws and ordnances
to carry humanity
beyond its egocentric nature
and give the species purpose
to know and worship You
and to carry forward an ever advancing civilization.

Thank You,
and again I say Thank You,
for all Your love has given:
the morning sun,
the evening dew,
the clouds that water gardens,
the snow of winter,
the rain of summer,
spring’s flowers and autumn’s fruits.
