Blessings Upon Blessings

Now in the midst of all the troubles
so much to think that's just wrong
but need to look up to being positive
make it all melodious sing your song

So much to bless my God for
despite my stammer so much else I do
see, hear, smell, walk and so much more
having a good conscience to be true

Knowing God who leads me in life
desire divine truth learn so much more
no matter its depth your desire grows
the Lord's spirit guides me to my Bible door

God blessed me with Christine my wife
making me so happy now 32 years
so caring, lovely and thoughtful to me
together our love keeps us in the clear

Been blessed with love for music
various types through all my time
given me a love to write poetry
such therapy of calm makes it rhyme

(With the pandemic, loss of loved ones, war, unrest, and everything else I've
Just wrote a poem about my blessings with the prompt "Why am I blessed?")

Hello Gordon - You have a very good outlook and mindset. Yes so much has happened to us all these past couple of years and counting but you remain positive and are fully aware of your blessings. I am too because there still remains good in life and within life if we look and recognize it. Your entry is lovely. May this day find you well. Take care and enjoy the day and poetrysoup.

This is so beautiful and uplifting, my dear friend. You have a wonderful heart, and I agree, it is best to look at all the blessings that surround us. This reminds me of the hymn, "Count your many blessings, name them one by one" I certainly am. Many wonderful blessings to you, Gordon. :) Hugs, Brandy
