INDEED BLEST WITH ZEST

Indeed blest to do well with zest
Nourished beyond existence-best
Delighting in pursuing sublime quest 
Endeavoring for joyous victorious crest
Exercising faith, vanquishing doubt’s pest
Dear heart of mine dwells serenely in God’s nest.

Blooming despite barrenness’ test
Lovely while looking graciously dressed 
Exuberant every day, gratitude is expressed
Sharing gifts of mercy and peace toward the rest 
Triumphant* life keeps on reaching-out, indeed blest.

*2Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
