Whatever is given -

money, food, work, a handshake, a smile, a good word or a embrace -

is a reason to rejoice and say “gracias” … 

I learned that everything that is, is freely given by  God of out of love.

All is grace....light and water,

shelter and food,

work and freetime,

children, parents and grandparents,

birth an death -

all is given to us.

Why?

So that we can say "gracias" , thanks ...

************************

You say grace before meals, all right …

But  I say grace before the play and the opera, and grace before the concert and pantomime

And grace before I open a book ; and grace before sketching and painting

Swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing dancing …

And grace before I dip the pen in the ink
