Grateful For Our Many Blessings

A mong the things to be most cherished
B lessings lavishly scattered along our path
C herished moments with our loved ones
D elight as nothing ever could
E choes of laughter the dance of blessings
F riendships being heavensent connections
G ratitude the state of elevated resonance
H armony, health and happiness being what we seek
I magination occupying the open curious mind
J ustice and freedom so worth fighting for
K inships flourishing in all shapes and colors
L anguage of kindness in its multitude of nuances
M anifested every day in every way
N ature bestows its blessings most bountiful
O rchestrating dynamics of universal synergies
P oetic inspiration sourced in matters of the heart
Q uivering at random thoughts of our mortality
R ainbows washing away fears with promises of afterlife
S unrise to sunset we contribute to some grand plan
T ime is nothing but a conduit to all blessings
U plifted deeds progress our spiritual journey
V alue placed on what elevates the heart
W orship is a state of mind worthy of the miracles before us
X enophobes and disbelievers converted to a higher calling
Y outh giving way to altruism and aspirations of wisdom
Z en being how we feel as we count our many blessings

So many blessings! The gratitude is inspiring, Line. I think "Time is nothing but a conduit to all blessings" was my favorite. Best wishes in the contest ~ John

Wow! 26 Blessings, each of them wonderful, penned and posted before my first bowl of Wheaties and Beer --- so early in the morning. lol. (I confess: I only use a few Wheaties; you know, to give the beer 'more nutritional value)… Really, a beautiful Abecedarian, Line. Sweetness and Breakfast, Gershon

Thank you so much, Gershon. I would hate to disturb your morning routine of wheaties and beer with a less worthy piece. lol
