Of Sweet Life, All Blessings Future May Bring

Of Sweet Life, All Blessings Future May Bring


Why curse the morn when my friends cheer
for my well being and greater health.
Should I not now vanquish my great fear,
look anew at my friends as epic wealth?

O' heart will you better control my mind
vow truly to hold brighter each day!
Consider friends Ive been blessed to find
and know that forever friends we'll stay!

Why curse life when happiness can be found
in sunrise, sweet breeze and family love?
Shall I let loose joy and truth be unbound
in praising life and heavenly Father above?

Sometimes a new day's joy sets one to sing
of sweet life, all blessings future may bring!

Note: Dedicated to my friends, the Duggan family,
Peter and Vera, whose poetic verses so inspired 
and helped me see a brighter light today after such a dark
and deeply foreboding night.
My friends , reading both of your poems this morn were truly
a godsend to me.. Thanks so much......
Also want to say, my many other poet friends here are tops in
my book. They know who they are and I thank them all for their
kindness and concern..
