You are Blessed

By: Olive

In this life that is filled with ups and downs Do not despair, don't let your face drag on the ground In pain and distress, know that there's relief In tiredness and loneliness be firm in your belief

Look around you and no sooner that you'll find The abundance of beauty of HIS love that is kind Feel the wonderful whisper of the wind as it blows Let it touch your inner self… through your soul let it flow.

Listen to the birds as they chirp in delight While flying they dance…what a wonderful sight! Look up to the clouds as they move across the sky Forming cotton like figures, floating up high

Beautiful flowers scattered everywhere Accompanied by butterflies prancing all over Molded and fashioned with careful touch and love So lively yet so delicate…a gift from Lord above

Listen to the sound of the children's laughter Doesn't it remind you of how you once were? How pure and simple children's happiness can be! Reminding us all, that with the simplest things in life …you can be as happy.

Those smile of gratitude from the people their life you have touched You have painted them all with every stroke of your love brush Feel your heart leap whenever you see Such a wonderful piece of Art…such a priceless beauty

From the day's work, enjoy the silence of the night Be mesmerized by the stars…shining oh so bright In the darkness there is moon, generously gives out light Everything seems so perfect…everything seems so right.

By the end of the day as you lay down in bed Think of all these blessings and let them rest in your head Give a little prayer of thanks to God The Almighty Count the blessings you've received and never leave out any
