Blessing of Family and Friends
I am so blessed with family and friends
And a support system of caring neighbors
Who constantly embrace me with their love,
Along with a plethora of guardian angels
Who hover over me with tender care,
Guiding my footsteps through highs and lows
I never feel alone, you see; never neglected,
Knowing that someone special is always there
Offering assistance in my times of need.
Fortunately, so far, I can care for myself,
Doing the routine sorts of things life demands
But I know I can call on so many who will come
If I should become incapacitated or need help.
Such a blessing! For I know many who worry
That someday they’ll need help, to no avail,
I encourage developing ties with friends and family
For they are sources of comfort to folks like me
Who are living in the twilight years of life.
