A Thankful Heart

By Edith M. Thomas

Thou art not rich, thou art not poor, Thy fortune keeps the middle way; No ills thy strength cannot endure, Apportioned to the passing day. Thou art not young, thou art not old, Yet, calm, thou seest thy years depart; And joys are thine—a thousandfold— Because thou hast a Thankful Heart.
A Thankful Heart for life alone— For beauty in the earth and skies, And for such share as thou dost own By happy gift of seeing eyes— For human love's endearing bond Where stanchly thou dost bear thy part, For solace here, and hope beyond— For all, thou hast the Thankful Heart.
—Edith M. Thomas.
