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.

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

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

This was really a testimony, Vince. I know that God has already plan our lives before we even know it. Children are a Blessing and God knows what's best and Famiy is a Blessing. Your poem really touch my heart for I truly know that we need be reminded that we are Blessed. Beautiful poem ! ! !
