***

Thank you very much Lord,

***

for the life you have given me...

for the air that I breath...

for the water that I drink...

for the food you blessed me everyday...

***

for the family that I have...

for my friends that give me hope and perseverance to go on...

for the talents and skills...

for the love so sweet that I can always feel inside of me, to give and to share...

for the woman that inspires me...

for the meaning of life that I found...

***

for the radiant sunshine every morning that keeps us hopeful...

for the moon and the stars that shine in my face when I gaze at the sky at night...

for the sky so blue reflecting its color to the face of the ocean that conveys peace and freedom...

for the wonderful landscape of the horizon that I am especially witnessing everyday...

for the birds and animals that are freely enjoying the bounty of the world...

for the rain forest that continues to grow in greenish excitement in the heart of the earth...

for the steadfast, determined, and serene-flowing river that I used to swim and follows its path towards the sea...

***

for the amazing rainbow, the sign of Your promise to man;

a mystery to all, because it is thought to have ends;

yet the truth is, it is a RING of colors,

that its beauty brings glory to those who understand...

***

for the first cry of a new born;

a music to my ear,

a cycle of life.

***

With all these Lord, I pray...

***

Let me be Your army,

Your warrior for peace,

Please put on me the shield and armour of faith,

and the sword of wisdom.

***

Let me be Lord,

***

A 'good fruit',

A 'fruit-bearing tree',

A farmer of Your seeds,

Your servant...

***

That I can fully express in my lifetime.

I ask thee through the same Christ, our Lord, Who reigns with You forever and ever...

Amen.
