Blessing
Listen to poem:
Blessing
A blessing is more
Than some words on a page
Or to follow a sneeze
Or break a leg for the stage
It's more than just sentiment
It is conscious decision
To send love and kindness
With a purpose and vision
Not a throwaway niceness
It's so deep and profound
A blessing reclaims
So much more hallowed ground
Not a poem with boundary
No beginning or end
It is never constrained
It is more than just friend
It's the ripples of change
In the pool filled with love
Spilling out when we cast
A request-stone above
A blessing has value
Even more than a prayer
It loves, lingers, leads us
It's a heaven-ward stair
To invoke down a blessing
Is to open earth space
And flood it with goodness
Laced with Spirit and grace
Like an angelic whirlwind
Where the atmosphere alters..
It's the arm of a lover
When your step forward falters
It connects and restores
It has holiness prowess
Like it says on the tin;
It dispels all the darkness
So reach your hand high
And call down that blessing
It can only bring truth,
No fake-news second guessing
Draw the gift from a well
Never known for it's dryness
All the thirst to dispel
With a cup from his Highness
So..
May your life be renewed
May the darker days dwindle
May your eyes see new Hope
May your healing rekindle
May your voice find it's place.
May you outshine the shadows.
May you nurture that seed
So a mighty, strong oak grows
May your neighbours be friends.
May your generous spirit
Be a lighthouse of hope
For the boats harboured in it.
May your journey be fruitful.
May your harvest be plenty.
May your storehouse be shared
Where the hungry soul's empty.
May the places you walk
Find your presence refreshing
For we all have a choice
To bring heavenly blessing.
