God gives us boils upon our bums to keep us standing straight,
He gives us upset in our tums to make sure we’re sometimes late.
God gives us pain deep in our ears to let us know he’s there,
He gives us eyes that fill with tears for onions that we share.
God gives us teeth so we can bite, and rip and tear and chew,
When teeth fall out and gums get light he gives us Irish stew.
God gives us knees that ache and crack and eyes so we can see,
He gives us legs that go forward and back to get us from A to B
God gives us a nose so we can smell and wipe our winters drips
He gives us many tales to tell and fish and peas with chips.
God gives us summer sun and rain and autumn wind and showers,
He gives us snowy winter fun in short frosty daytime hours.
God gives us heat so we can hold cold hands against the fire,
He gives us clothes for us to fold and beds for when we tire,
God gives us toilets for us to use and clean around the rim,
He gives us everything we need but what do we give to Him?
We no doubt make him smile when we have to stand up straight,
And when we’re stuck upon the loo he knows he’ll make us late.
So how can we repay God for all the things he gives to us?
Dear God you made me late again, please send another bus.
And while I sit and contemplate and watch your world go by,
I’ll say thanks for all the things on earth and all within the sky,
There’s one more thing to thank God for if I may be so humble,
When I get off this bus and home God’s made some rhubarb crumble!
