Remind Me Lord How Blessed I Am

Remind me, Lord, how blessed I am! I have no disease, from which to fear. Nor, do I live to be a winning poet! I am just average, and I do know it. A family outstanding, fills my heart with joy. A grandchild, off with honors, to University! A Varsity-lettered, humbled, grown boy! Remind me, Lord, how blessed I am! I outlived a most dreaded, deadly, disease.. Let me live each day, full of gratitude! Spare me the sin of writing, lazy platitudes. Above all, like you, teach me how to forgive. And with compassion, with joy, everyday to fully live! Not to take, but with a joyous heart, to fully give!

Yes, you surely are blessed, Pangie. More than most 29 year-olds, I think. Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to talk down to you, as I know you've just turned 30. ~ Smell the roses, gw
