Poetry by Jim: It comes in three’s

 

first give thanks
for all I possess
all You gave me
it could be less

 

then You gave
Your only Son
He lives in my heart
which means I’ve won

 

next we start over
not necessarily new
but one more year
before we’re through

 

the last five weeks
embrace all three
different as they are
but Lordly and free
