Abbey's Homework

Abbey's homework assignment was to go outside and write a Psalm to the Lord. I thought you might be interested in what she wrote. I was very happy with what she came up with.

I thank you Lord for the garden with food for me to eat. I thank you for the bird songs I hear in the tree tops and the clouds to shade my eyes. I thank you for the green grass around my toes. The swing set that holds many memories was a gift from you. My one tree that blooms white in the spring came from your almighty hands. The flowers with a joyful scent look up to your heavens. A cardinal sounding off his chirps. Oh, the glory of your creation. Hank the robin, surviving on your worms. I thank you for the wind and the sand. I thank you for my intelligence and my want to be with you.

I don't mean to brag, but I think this is beautiful from a 5th grader in about 15 minutes of work.

Wondering who Hank is? I have a little robin friend in my garden who likes it when I stir up the worms.
