My Ritches

God you have given me so much
to be thankful for
and if I live to be a hundred
I couldn't expect much more.

You have given me a good life
and a love of the things around
the taste of the air
the touch of the wind
the feel of the bountiful ground.

No greater gifts than these have I
and who could ask for more
than to share in God's good earth and sky
and have God himself to adore.
