So Many Blessings In One Life
There are so many blessings to claim:
A sister who gives unconditional love who's always there when I need her who
praises everything I do including the meat loaf I feed her
A nephew who thinks that I'm "the bomb" and always tells me so and
we are kindred spirits that's something I truly know
Friends so many places that will be my friends for life,there in times
of happiness and times of woe and strife
Two cats that just adore me and make me laugh all day I can cuddle and talk
to which keeps the blues at bay
A brain and some intelligence that helps me figure things out when life
is rather confusing and I want to scream and shout
A voice that sang in my younger days up with my boyfriends band and
now it sings out strong in church while Jesus holds my hand
A spirit of humor that keeps me going when life has got me down and
very few face wrinkles cos' I hardly ever frown
A knack for putting words together that some people enjoy and a
talent for making things by hand like jewelry and candles of soy
A place to live and very few wants although I'm far from wealthy
and even though I'm diabetic basically I'm healthy
