Eileen Manassian Poet Quatrain

Blessed By Heavens Light

I wait for them to wake up
Those two sleepy heads inside
I’ve fixed a yummy breakfast
Shall I pull their curtains wide?

I just want to start this day
With my loved ones close to me
Yet most patiently I wait
For them the dawn’s light to see

I’m left to sit and ponder
All the blessings in my life
I am a doting mother
And honored to be a wife

We live quite a simple life
No trappings of luxury
But what we have is special
Quite grand in its modesty

God has granted us this life
Each one has dreams to fulfill
We have love that binds our hearts
And a God who makes storms still

We have a sweet home of praise
A little piece of paradise
I’m thankful for all I have
Wouldn't want it otherwise

Sure we have our own problems
And often times we just fight
But when it’s all said and done
We are blessed by heaven’s light.

Richard Lamoureux March 29, 2013 at 10:47 PM Yep all is well! Ate to much but boy was it good.. Eileen Manassian March 29, 2013 at 12:39 PM Yes! I am in love with doors! I once wanted to buy a painting of a blue village door in Cyprus with a spray of fuchsia colored bougainvillea cascading over the top of the door, but it was just too expensive...GUESS WHAT...I have that right outside my window now! :) Thanks for the post, Richard! Hope all is well! Hugs!
