From Lego to Loyalty: A Heart Full of Thanks
Today, I pause with a thankful grin,
For all the joys that life lets in.
From Lego bricks, since I was three,
To Star Wars tales of destiny.
The works of Tolkien ignite my mind,
With realms of courage, richly defined.
A yo-yo’s spin, a Rubik’s twist,
Simple joys I can’t resist.
Great action movies or classics that amuse,
Laughter and thrills, I gladly choose.
Gus, my sidekick puppet since college days,
Helping kids learn in engaging ways.
To hiking trails and drones that fly,
Through nature’s splendor and the open sky.
Photography capturing God’s great art,
And Apple tech that’s sleek and smart.
Yet none of these, no earthly cheer,
Compares to family, friends so dear.
Their loyalty through highs and lows,
Their love a constant that always shows.
Through Kidology.org, my calling clear,
Equipping others, year by year.
To reach the kids, to teach His name,
To share His love, to spread His fame.
For Jesus Christ, my Savior and King,
The source of every song I sing.
Despite my flaws, His love remains,
He guides my steps, He heals my pains.
So on this day, my thanks I raise,
To God above, my heart in praise.
For another year to serve His call,
To give Him glory, my all in all.
