Today I signed into my blog

And looked at my account

And paused for just a moment

As I looked at the amount.

There was a gift in there that I

Did not anticipate

Ten days ago you sent it

So it told me by the date.

But who would give without a name?

I thought about it hard

And felt a twinge of sorrow

That I could not send a card.

Instead I’ll write a poem which

I pray that you will read

So I can tell you thank you

For providing for my need.

I don’t know why you chose to keep

Your name all under wraps

Best friend or total stranger?

I will never know, perhaps!

But today you made me smile

Giving to my trip next year

The date I leave’s approaching

It is drawing ever near.

 I pray that God might make it known

To you now deep within

How thankful that I am and

What a blessing you have been.

I could not do this without all of you!
