Notes About The Poem

Blessings - 1

Sunlight pours through the window
Caressing my thoughts so intimately
A gentle whisper of God’s affection
Soothing, illuminating His direction

Rain falls soft on my soul, praying
For the kind rainbow after the storm
Delighting, exciting, raising up hope
For another day, a new way, tomorrow

Roses, lilacs, dandelions too…
Rise up from the earth, nourished
By the light of sun, the rain’s love
Brightening lives with their blooms

Moon, stars, fireflies too…
Bursting through the darkness
Coloring the night in hues of dreams
Silencing the flames of failure and doubt

Robin and wren, butterflies so wild…
Paint the morning in psalms of joy
Inspiration that awakens the mercies
Of laughter sung across the rise of dawn

Dewdrops slide like elastic grace
Across a petal, a leaf, a spider’s web
Imagining the night where it grew to be
The miracle of beauty breathing intimately

Kindness cascades down my life
Inspiring me to believe, to reach out
To give generously and intentionally
With love that showers me with sensitivity

My blessings never cease to be cherished
As treasures for which I am so thankful
God is the best giver and His gifts are
Bigger than any that we might give

His gifts come from the very hope
That awakens His passion for bounteous giving
I’ve never felt so blessed before
And I know each day only brings more
To be thankful for – God is so good!

I need to Thank Him forevermore!

This leaves one speechless Gina, so splendid a piece with great imagery, expression, and full of colour too. Must make this fav! Blessings, Gordon
