My Wonderful Blessings

A loving family
Beside me (if not all of them, at least in thought)
Constitutes one of my many blessings.
Dear children, a mom and sisters who phone me
Every now and then,
Friends with whom I chat regularly,
Grandkids who enjoy me, and a
Husband who supports me
In so many ways. Yes, friends and family are
Just about the best blessings I can imagine.
Knowledge is another blessing I treasure.
Little though my knowledge
May yet be, I feel I’ve received a few
Noteworthy gifts in that department.
Other blessings have been
Plentiful as well. I was
Quite athletic in my time, 
Rather good at 
School, and achieved a 
Teaching degree from the
University. In my lifetime I’ve had the opportunity to
Visit various countries of this beautiful
World! Also, I feel blessed to be a woman who is
Xevial with nearly everyone I meet!
Young at heart, I hope I’ve not yet reached the
Zenith of my life!
