Thank is to think 

as song is to sing,

makes a mind wonder 

what this day could bring, 

if thoughts were to
land on a splendored thing. 

Splendor as in shine. 

Ray given just now,

now enough. Or rather
now knowing it is enough. 

Thank is to think 

as song is to sing,

makes a mind wonder 

what this day could bring --
