Blessings On Earth

I count blessings as I gaze up on stars
Watch the dawn arrive in a pink aqua tint
Hear a rooster crow me his morning memoirs

Each day offers a different fingerprint
Swirls of overlapping richness
Joys to discover, fresh as peppermint

Lessons to learn in all their vividness
My connections on earth a treasured lifeline
Abundance given in complete simpleness

With all these gifts that are mine
I see the earth and heaven intertwine

Jeanne, this is an exquisite poem. Especially loved this part: "Each day offers a different fingerprint Swirls of overlapping richness Joys to discover, fresh as peppermint"
