Morning. The sounds of birdsong awaken me with pleasant reminders of blessings that I can hear. The sun shining in through the window reminds me that I can see. My body slowly rises out of bed, reminding me that I can move. What have I to complain about? A roof over my head; food in my stomach; alive and breathing ... I am blessed, I am blessed, indeed!
Oh Karla you are absolutely right. I have often reminded our children through the years to be thankful for they are not cold, hungry or naked, they are surrounded by love and can walk, run, sing, talk and see all the gifts given to them. Life is so beautiful. Thank you.

Yes sometimes we do need to take simple inventory of the things we have not the things we don't have.

It is the small thing, they say which tell us we are blessed. I maintain that being able to see, being able to breathe and being able to get out of bed is not small things, they are miracles . . . WE are miracles . . .
A poem written with intelligence and good sense.......
we do take alot for granted, its a shame, and do complain over the petty stuff, makes the big picture fade, when in reality its lovely
thanks for this reminder :) pax A
Oh Karla, this is so inspiring and written so well...love your voice of sincerity I hear in each line and I like the beautiful picture too. This is a good one.
Thank you for helping me see a few essential things on a particularly cold and rainy day. I woke up with a headache, lots of negative thoughts and decided to change this. Then, I read your poem. Isn't it a happy "coincidence"? :-)
I am blessed too, we just have to look about us, and see how good we have it. So many others don't. Thanks for this powerful reminder; God is indeed good! I'd say this was God-inspired writing; very uplifting! BRAVA, extremely well penned!

This book consists of a 150 pages of Christian poetry about the end of time and the Second coming of Jesus Christ not as a servant but as a King, the King of kings. To bring righteousness and peace to the earth and restore the government of God! Peac
