Blessings

The receipt of a large ration, of empathy and compassion. The ability in one’s life, to overcome struggles and strife. A clear mind that can comprehend, the great wisdom that lies within. To see the way to love others, as much as sisters and brothers. To know the Source of creation, can heal an infested nation. To know unity for us all, will never be just one man’s call. To know it’s the Creator’s call, the One that created us all.

This is a great way to spell out your blessings, speaking more of attitudes and not specific "things." Very nice!

Thanks for the visit and comment, Andrea. I'm moving towards the general (a more inclusive) philosophy of life. I think we loose the essence of things when we try to prove them are look at details only. There's more to life than we know. :-) Smiles and peace to you my dear friend, Bill

You wrote a couplet style poem, but this reads more like a prayer. It's sort of the thing that could be in the book of Psalms. I think King David (or Shepperd boy David) might have had similar words if was living in 2022 America. *My Christian brain at work here.

I like the way you think, Miranda. I named my son David. "Having a heart after God" KJV, has always been a desire of mine. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Bill I love this, you are a blessing to all of us for your dedication to promote God's love and standards. " To Know unity for us all will never be one man's call." What a verse Bill. I have never heard it expressed that way and it is such a great truth you have shared. This verse is exceptional and it comes from your God inspired mind. Truly enjoyed and is a favorite my friend. Blessings your way...

Thank you for these encouraging words, Michael. For me, it is a struggle to write positive poety right now. The world circumstance is troubling and the destruction of our country and way of life requires turning everything over to God. All I can say is "thy will be done". Thanks for the FAV, it means a lot to me to know some people find meaning in my poetry. Your friend, Bill

wonderfully penned, Bill. Blessings will abound if one can 'do' all the things you so succinctly said. This poem flows with a universal message about our Creator, from which all blessing derive. I just can't say enough about your words, your creativity, your sincerity reflected in what you allow to flow through you.
