Blessings Making Me Smile

Smile ! Smile ! Smile ! 
Blessings many making me smile all the while

Grass lying under Morning Dew 
     Barefoot walking on dew 
Blossoming buds in garden still
     Chirping Birds on window sill
First Rays through mist
     Sunflower readying for twist   
For chocolate, Child smiling as barter  
      Mothers prayer at altar 
Dad attending Parent Day meeting   
      Mom at school bus stop waiting 
Friends surprise visit at odd hours
      Family celebrating till wee hours
School Group photos 
      Picnic and party videos 
Childless parent comforted by Orphan
      Handicap competing with my son   
Participating in a Charity show  
      Gratitude gesture, at temple taking a bow
