- I meant to thank you Lord today for sending down the rain.
- And I meant to thank you yesterday for I woke up without
pain.
-
- I walked a rocky gravel road amid the summer's heat,
- and I really meant to thank you for the shoes upon my feet.
-
- I saw the lovely sunshine and the flowers that it grew,
- and the birds in all their beauty and I really meant to thank
you.
-
- I enjoyed a lovely sunset and the sky of azure blue,
- and then the starry night appeared and I truly meant to thank
you.
-
- I gazed out toward an open field and watched nature at its
best,
- and I really meant to thank you as I laid my head to rest.
-
- I made it safely through the night, and, yes, my family,
too,
- and when I woke to meet the day I really meant to thank you.
-
- I felt the crisp cold winter air, as I stepped out in the
'morn,
- and I really meant to thank you for the coat that kept me
warm.
-
- I saw the twinkling of a snowflake and the gentleness of
a dove,
- and I really meant to thank you for all the blessings from
above.
-
- But most of all I have to say your forgiveness is the best,
- for all the times that I neglected to thank you for the rest!
