I Give Thanks for the Necessities of Life

The necessities of life I too often take for granted 
But they ensure my life on the planet. 

I give thanks for clean, gentle moving air 
Most days of it I am unaware. 

I give thanks for solid ground beneath my feet 
Pure, life-supporting soil that nurtures the foods I eat. 

I give thanks for clean water to quench my thirst 
Shelter to protect me from nature’s worst. 

I give thanks for my body, soul, and mind 
My healthy connections with humankind. 

Today I make my grateful way 
On the path leading up to Thanksgiving Day.
