Notes About The Poem

" THANKSGIVING " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of flower

Thou Blessings, My Lord

With each breath, I take

With each heartbeat, I feel

With each thing, I see

With each sound, I hear

With each flower, I scent

With each being, I touch

With each fruit, I taste

With each step, I walk

With each moment, I live

I Thee glorify, my Lord, for all Thou blessings,

The blessings, that so many of my fellow men:

The deaf

The Mute

The blind

The chronically ill

The invalid

The incapacitated, and

The Paralyzed, 

Never had the chance to enjoy them!

Yes it seems its all taken for granted, Demetrios, 40 years ago i lost sight in my right eye, with the left eye under threat, thankfully, i've managed so far to be able to keep on with the one eye. Your poem, means so much to me, thank you for posting.

Wow! Demetrios what a realization that says volumes of truth. A favorite. That is why we shouldn't complain, for there are those poor souls that do without and what a hardship it is for them. We shoud always be grateful for our health no matter how bad and give thanks. So many have it much worse. God bless you for reminding us my friend...

Absolutely stunning, Demetrios, my friend. The blessings we received at birth are priceless. Unfortunately, people are greedy.

Yes--indeed--we don't appreciate the gifts we are born with. Some never get a chance.
