Blessed

Embrace your home, each crevice your own, 
each fantasy gnome, each button sown.

Praise God the house is filled, the husband is skilled, 
the garden is tilled, and they lend a great yield.

Be thankful for your chores--- less isn't more,
For all you clean is yours, between each door.

You'll be piping filled if you try to ingest
all the green in the field, for you have been blessed!

Rejoice, pray, and dance if you love to give praise.
Share of your abundance, and you may get a raise.

Sometimes we take these blessings for granted. It is good that you are thankful. ;0).

Thanks, Rick. I try to count my blessings and also to be thankful for the hardships.
