Our Many Blessings

OUR MANY BLESSINGS By the Poets Listed in the first comment Life is full of wonderment and blessings well received. The greatest gift, so well conceived, the freedom to believe. Thanking God that in this glorious world He perceived. There, stands today beauty and grandeur that awed we can achieve. Our ancestors, many moons ago, the motherland did flee. Enriching lives, harvest, and family in this land of milk and honey. Gratitude after we gathered the fruits of our great labors. Holding hands with love we pray with family, friends, and neighbors. Thankfulness for waking to feel warm sun on our face, all hail. The wind's breeze, melodies in green trees from sweet nightingales, You cast off my chains; you set me free, through true eyes, now I see. Each dawn I give thanks I am free! Thank you, Lord from the real me. Thank you for my mind and heart and trusting me from the start. For the sun, the moon, the stars, and all your creatures who take part. Also for things in me once damaged, now mending a new start. To live this life, day to day, with the minimum of fuss- We believe in many things, that the joys of life bring us. From majestic mountains, to the tiniest of bugs, Wondrous bountiful God, created these for poetry. I am sending GOOD energy, to my friends, and hugs. My thanks are carried on waves over the November seas. To friends from afar who grace my life with comfort and ease. One unending relationship with God and His wonderful love... Four sons, the gifts given to me from Heaven high above, I am so thankful to be gifted with so many different things. And being healthy under loving angel's caring wings One great blessing: I begin to see the world was more than me. Methodical. Prodigal. More logical, I found the great light love. Within our thankful hearts today, a prayer is softly said, Blessing all who join with us as we eat and share our bread. Our lives are enriched by family and friends that we love. With grateful hearts, we thank our generous Father above. The wonders of your world, Lord, Earthbound and on the wing, Our hearts are filled with happiness for every blessed thing. So, thank you, Lord for everything that upon us you bestowed. Especially for your love dear, Lord that bountifully has flowed. Amen CONTRIBUTING POETS in alphabetical order: See the first comment. We had great participation. Thank you, my poet dear friends for your contributions to this Thanksgiving poem. Lovingly, Dane Ann

Smile, I would have been a bit nervous had I known the extent of my inclusion among this elite group of Poetry Soup celebrities. Thanks to all, for letting me be a part of your love's heart. As the new body of love comes together into singleness, into the heart of one, it is life that has won the right to be continuously. Love you Dane. Thanks to all, for suffering my gall. Wishing all, a very happy thanksgiving! Sincere, Love, Moses

Hi My Poet Friends, Our Thanksgiving poem turned out great. And we had so much participation that the CONTRIBUTOR LIST would not fit entirely at the bottom of the poem. So, I put the list in the first comment. I hope that is okay. I send my love to each of you and wish you a joyous Thanksgiving holiday. (My eldest daughter is having her first child. So, I won't be on The Soup while I am out of town.) God be with you. Lovingly, Dane Ann
