Simple Blessings
I love how the cool breeze caresses my face
tickling my lips
and tossing my hair playfully
It brings life to the silence of the dull, Autumn day
and forces smiles on grim faces
I adore the crinkling of leaves underneath my bare feet
sending a thrilling chill up my body
and quickening my heart with every step I take
It lifts the spirits of small children
and sends their innocent laughter through the air, touching hearts along the way
How wonderful the sprinkling drops of water are
as they tease my skin with their touch
and I cannot help but feel genuine joy
These days come often
but are rarely seen as they are
Beautiful
Cheerful
and a simple yet intricate blessing from God
