A simple hallelujah

For the dirt under my nails

For the sky that  makes the rain

And the sun that shines above

 

A heartfelt hosannah

For the grass beneath my feet

For the bees that kiss the flowers

And the breeze that cools my cheeks

 

A psalm of pure devotion

For the child who loves me so

For his innocent devotion

And his pure, untrodden soul

 

A hymn of fervent thanks

For the accident of life

For the force that forms the molecules

And keeps the stars apart

 

A paean of deep gratitude

For each moment that I have

For though I bitch and moan a lot

I’m glad for what I’ve got.
