Thanks

By Joseph I. Breen

O, A PRAYER of thanks is a trifling thing To give at the close of day To the God above for the boundless love He scatters along our way. It’s a trifling thing which we all may give With never an ounce of loss; Yet it seems somehow that we never bow The head till we’ve felt the cross.
It’s a trifling thing for a man to say, “I’m grateful, my love, to you, For the good you’ve wrought and the joy you’ve brought, And your heart of the truest blue.” It’s a trifle, yes, but it seems to me Worth all the time it may take. Life, at best, is cold; and for love untold Some hearts have been known to break.
— Joseph I. Breen.
