Spiritual Blessings

I wish nothing more
than spiritual blessings,
being completely happy
and spreading the Good News!


Material things will come after,
an abundance will overflow this empty cup,
and I will drink from it forever...
to taste God's goodness, purity and glory!
   

I wish nothing more 
than spiritual blessings,
and comparing misery to joy,
I choose none other than holiness!


I got lost in the madness of mundane things;
following bad habits and indulging in them...
not knowing that I had fallen to darkness,
and my anguish nobody could ever hear!   


I'm heading home...that home I never found,
and all the chanting angels, waiting in Paradise,
greet me with their bright smiles...
I won't be a corpse in a forgotten grave!


I wish nothing more
than spiritual blessings;
having realized the duration of wretchedness,
which withheld all good things from me!


Entered in Carol Brown's contest, "If My Dream Could Come True"
