My Favorite Bedtime Prayer

This has been my favorite since I read it somewhere back in high school.

 

I thank you for this day of life,
for feet to walk amidst the trees
for hands to pick the flowers from the earth
for a sense of smell to breathe in the sweet perfumes of nature
for a mind to think about and appreciate the magic of every day miracles,
for a spirit to swell in joy.
--Marian Wright Edelman
From the book Guide My Feet
