His Blessings

He made the dew drops to embrace the foliage
with the dawning of day

He clothe the birds in a colorful array,
He gave them voices to usher in a new day

He gave us eyes to see
He gave us ears to hear,
He gave us voices to extol our gratitude and praise

every day to start afresh, 
each day to appreciate the second chances
ultimately embracing life with the sound of the birds, 
with the smell of the flowers
each day filled with His blessings,
sometimes we stare at them blindly,
forgetful that He makes it all possible…

If it weren't for second chances, many of us would be miserably unhappy. I like the way you focus on the gifts we receive from our creator and how important it is to show thanks for these gifts. God bless you for sharing this precious poem! Love, Carolyn
