Could Bring



Thank: is related phonetically to think 

as song is to sing --compiled from 

etymonline's think and thank



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.
