Gifts from God
by Laurie Kolp

soft whispers in the night
tender hands that hold on tight
love enough to fill a room
smiles to wipe away the gloom
all God’s creatures big and small
cascading water that does fall
encouraging words full of hope
prayers to God that help you cope
embracing arms to hold and hug
hot warm coffee in my mug
morning’s first promise of light
chirping birds so sweet and right
all these things and many more
are gifts from God I’m thankful for
