Three Times Blessed?
Traveling to Winston
on the Greyhound today
I saw a license plate
that made me do a double take,
There was nothing funny
or silly about it,
but it blessed my heart greatly
as I pondered on it.
The license plates said "3XBLESD"
which I interpreted as
they were Three times blessed,
And I began to think
of all my blessings,
and wondered what number
I should be using.
I've been so blessed
it's impossible to count
my needs are met,
I even get some of my wants,
My health is good,
I've never had surgery
The only diagnosis I've had
was pregnancy,
So my trips to the hospital
was just for giving birth,
and I don't think I can number
my blessings worth.
My Children and Grand Children
they are a handsome bunch,
Been blessed to see my Great-Grand
I know that was a plus,
Limbs are in working order
and my senses are in tact,
I'm still counting my blessings
by presenting these facts.
The greatest of these blessings
Is that I'm not dead,
pulse is racing, heart is beating
I've still got my head,
So what number can I use
to measure my blessings?
After all these things I mentioned
I'll never stop counting.
