We thank God for the sun
We thank God for the moon
We thank God for the morn
And for the night and noon.
We thank Him for our treasures
We thank Him for our toys
We thank him for our pleasures
As also for our joys
But do we remember
To thank him for the gift
Which earns for us
Admiration swift?
Do we thank him at all
For making us physically strong
For being hale and hearty
For having no defect for so long?
What about the lakhs
Who have walked on Life’s tracks
Without a limb or eye
Does it not make us cry?
Those who cannot see
Those who cannot hear
And yet always are
Found in good cheer?
Should we not learn
A lesson from their acts
To be bold and brave
And face Life’s facts
Should we also not
Thank God for being kind
For letting us possess
A calm and rational mind
Clearly its our duty
To pay the respects due
And to tell Him with all our hearts-
“We’ll always love and serve you”
