Have I Ever Thanked you
My only regret is I should’ve thanked you more and when I saw your face,
I should’ve given more away-
Today - “But me? I will sing of your strength. I will awake with the sun to sing of Your loving mercy….”
Awesome each you are
Beautiful beyond description
Care-full for one another
Determined in life and work and play
Energetic in praise of one another
Friends- faithful and true to the uttermost
Gracious in spirit, thought, word, deed
Holuta’s - “so sorry you were the last one” exclaimed Eisenhower grade school teacher
Imaginative in birthday gifts and serving one another
Jealous to see good in each other’s lives and each other’s families lives
Kindness know no bounds for each other and family members
Light blazing through our deepest depths
Memory book makers
Never doubting of the love and mercy
On our minds
Passionately pursuing hopes and dreams and service
Quirky in a special unique way- in especially an interesting or appealing way
Rugged in life, skiing, learning, leaning and leading
Stunning beyond our wildest dreams or imagination
The Joy set before us
Unseen in so many of the ways they live, serve, and give to each other and friends
Valid and true in all ways- to careers, friends and strangers
Wise as you consider your response to hard things in life as well as the beautiful and solemn
X-factor - in a situation you have had the most significant impact on the outcome - a game-changer, key factor,
Your heart our prize
Zest for life - thank you for showing enthusiasm in your relationships with each other, family, and friends/ such passion and dedication
About this poem : Have I Ever Thanked you is a poem about our children- Matthew, Jonathan, Rachel, and Emily. Thank you for making our lives bright and breathless, A-Z and just the same. - Joe Holuta
You leave us breathless
You leave us breathless.
One new morning
One new mercy
One new joy
One new breathless sunrise
One new joy every morning
One new leaning back
One deep breath
When we are breathless
One Hope of the far corners of the Earth and distant seas
