The soft breeze on a hot summer day
or listening to the kids yelling as they play
the warmth of a blanket on a rainy fall night
staring up at the stars wondering how they got so bright
sitting with a good friend
not worrying about how the day will end
being home for every holiday
always having a place to stay
though I didn’t choose this place
I will always remember to give thanks
to the one who put me here
the God above who paid my debt
and loved me though I didn’t know Him yet
