Henry Van Dyke - Gratitude
Work rating: Low

"Do you give thanks for this? — or that?" 
     No, God be thanked
          I am not grateful
In that cold, calculating way, with blessing ranked
     As one, two, three, and four, — that would be hateful. 

I only know that every day brings good above"
          My poor deserving;
I only feel that, in the road of Life, true Love
     Is leading me along and never swerving. 

Whatever gifts and mercies in my lot may fall,
          I would not measure
As worth a certain price in praise, or great or small;
     But take and use them all with simple pleasure. 

For when we gladly eat our daily bread, we bless
          The Hand that feeds us;
And when we tread the road of Life in cheerfulness,
     Our very heart-beats praise the Love that leads us.
