With apologies to my atheist friends

I encountered this verse, from a poem by e.e. cummings, years ago.  It spoke to me then, and it speaks to me now, and if you like, just take out the word God - it isn't necessary for the verse's evocation of that feeling of transcendence and exaltation the beauty of the world and life can inspire.

i thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
