I Am Blessed

My health is good
my mind is sound
family loves me
and friends abound
I am blessed.

I live in freedom
my home is mine
my life is like
a vintage wine
I am blessed.

My faith sustains me
when I am low
God supports me
of this I know
I am blessed.

For everything
I was denied
other blessings
were multiplied
I was blessed.

I know not what's
in store for me
I'll trust the one
who'se sheltered me
I am blessed.

When I am gone
don't pity me.
I lived a life
both full and free
I was blessed.

I loved this poem, such positive thinking. We sometimes tend to dwell on things that we feel we missed out on in life, instead of counting our blessings. This poem certainly makes the reader sit back and realise how lucky they are. Thank you for that Ron. Many blessings ....... Pat
