Letter of Thanks to a Friend - Anne Clark

I thank god for you

Through all the descending scales

The falling skies

So many shades of blue

The warmth you radiate

The path you led me to

I’m thanking god for you

In the fire of that August

Each horizon seemed unreachable

Now gently broken through

And I thank god for you

For each time you caught me in my falling

Answered to my calling

For what you made me do Thanking god for you

It’s just life inside unfolding

Finding things once lost anew

Love and mercy will in time

Find and pull it through

I’m thanking you

And thanking something unknown

Which may not or may be true

But shows itself as love and mercy

And what love in life can do.
