Why Am I So Blessed ? (What did I ever do ?)
A new day should be greeted with a smile,
but today I woke up angry and sad.
Far too many things were turning out bad.
I don’t mind telling you what happened to me,
and how I thank God for my personality.
Broken promises and people being cruel,
for a while, I put them in a jar, away from me.
When later, I calm down and view them up close.
I see things exactly as they are,
I put the darkness in front of me
and view it on the bias.
It’s been the hardest thing to do
but everyone can do it if they try .
Love and forgive each one that hurts you.
Don’t hold all that inside. Don’t ask
yourself why did they try to hurt you
just pity them and forgive them instead.
Love them and see the beauty in them and
such a weight will be taken off of you.
You might cry when putting your anger down.
As I open my front door,
the light from heaven shown in my eyes.
The sky was a gorgeous shade of blue…….
Cotton candy clouds were blowing across the skies.
I thought what a tiny man am I
I know I didn’t deserve all of this beauty
but I’m so grateful that sometimes I cry.
I’m so glad at last I finally got love right.
Always together, day and night,
me and my darling wife.
I baske in these thoughts for a while,
as I watch baby squirrels playing
upon the rocks in my front yard.
What is their purpose, just to have fun?
I wonder about the baby crows
scolding their young, for what — who knows,
amidst honking horns and flooded gutters,
is all of this part of a plan? I was born
amidst life in chaos.
I wish I could know why I am so blessed.
I was given this life by chance and luck.
That makes me blessed all the more.
Mom and Dad and Nature gave me my life,
but I was so naïve and dumb,
I didn’t make the best choices.
Thank God I landed right here.
in this wonderful life.
I was given many treasures
and often in generous measures.
Troubles and anguish — yeah, some of that.
But, as I wander out of my little house
I’m overcome by thrills and goosebumps
to feel the warm sun upon my skin
and breathing the cool sweet air in
and think about all the beauty I have seen
I never forget that I am ever so blessed
and what a wonderful life this has been.
