Vince Suzadail Jr. Poet Couplet

Blessed

Remembering a cold and damp February morn
On the Monday that my first child was born
I prayed as a father, I’d do my best
And I thanked God, I was so blessed
The following year in the beginning of November
Another son. a morning to remember
The coming Christmas would be the best
We had two sons, we were truly blessed
As they grew my heart overflowed
Praying they would choose the right road
Twelve years later in spite of my sins
God had blessed us again with the birth of our twins
Our children now numbered four with my head all awhirl
I now had three sons and Daddy’s little girl
Sometimes when life’s problems have me overstressed
I look at their photographs and know I was blessed.

Donna Golden September 15, 2009 at 7:50 PM This is wonderful, Vince. And, like me, I know you write from the heart without worry of whom you might offend! Anyone who says we "make our own luck" could be offended by the presumption that our blessings come from God! We know from whom our blessings flow, however, so no one can stop our praise! Thanks for your words of encouragement! Hugs, Donna

Carolyn Devonshire September 12, 2009 at 1:40 PM Indeed, you are "blessed" to have such a wonderful family. I'll bet "Daddy's little girl" gets a bit of extra attention, n'est ce pas? This is a lovely, uplifting poem from a man who loves and appreciates his family. Excellent write, Vince! Love, Carolyn
