Those who can think of such things as wonderful gifts from God are blessed. Those who take them for granted without any sense of gratitude are doomed. Terse and lovely poem, dear Bill.

Very true, these magical gifts and blessings are the actual treasures for human hearts! You've so beautifully expressed the essence of life here, especially with 'lessons' we evolve over time and every day is a learning stage.. There'll be many failures in the journey but how well we adapt ourselves and prove our resilience, I think that can only come with God's special aura and guidance. Loved reading this, a wonderful read in the morning :)
