who shall i thank?

if i can’t thank you

then who can i thank?

should i thank you

or the scoffers who mock you

who shun your existence

for strengthening my belief

for love for you

in arguing at your justice

in hate of your rules and laws

disdain for your beauty

strengthens my belief and love for you

in committing crimes against your justice

in whose shame care not to even hide

if i can’t thank you

then who should i thank

for the splendid in my life?

for my welling surge

of thankfulness

when on occasion

when i in mercy

when i in grace

should feel your love?

when out of nothing

unexpectedly i feel

your invisible love

made visible

by that something

that springs out of me

who shall i thank

out of the midst

from the midst

of a world in confusion?

a world of instability

a kingdom of death

a planet run

beneath the scenes

by madmen and devils

whom will i thank

when there seems

nothing left

to find thanks for?

when my heart fills

to burst with music

that sometimes

though rare fills my heart

like a gift from outside

this weary world?

who will i thank?

for the words of truth

undefined

the truth unrecognized

by mere majority of man

the truth that requires no definition,

but by that instilled

by immortal spirit

granted from above

to fill the deepest

depths of my being

and that of those

to whom you speak?

i will thank you

for the truth

for the comfort

of the words you speak

in writing

in my quiet lonely heart

words from your throne room

that tell of the coming peace

that tell of meaning

of meaning

to my tired frustrated life

and comfort brings

words

that promise an end

to the nonsense

of what is futile,

emptiness

thoughtlessness

unappreciativeness

unthankfulness

selfishlessness

rebelliousness

the list is long

time is short

like a candle we burn

soon the light is extinguished

we are gone

all those with their gifts,

love and sharing

compassion and helps

they’re gone and getting rare

unremembered really,

replaced by countless others

then too forgotten

endless cycles of repetition

waiting for the final end

the ushering in of a new reality

so who do i thank?

i thank you almighty,

Lord and Savior,

Jesus Christ,

Son of God

everlasting Savior
