Poem Artwork

I woke up this morning,
tossed the covers off,
put two strong legs
under me and stood,
ready to face the day
gifted me.

Twin arms stretched the ache from
stiffened shoulders; hands
opened the shades;
eyes saw the sun, red,
rising in the
Eastern sky.

Ears heard the first robins
saluting the dawn;
lungs breathed as they
should; heart beat a
prayer of thanksgiving for
the words to

tell you of His Grace and
mercy towards me ...
it could be so
much worse.  He has been
so good to me, so good.
Thank You, God.

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman.

Very true, Karla. If we consider nothing other than how fortunate we are to have been born here, we should be celebrating everyday. We are blessed to have expenses because it means that we have more than most of the world. Rent/mortgage = roof over our head. High energy bills = warmth in winter. Car payment/insurance = ability to go places. Grocery bills = food to fuel our bodies. A**hole boss = we are fortunate to have work. The list goes on and on. A most inspiring write!

Take care,

Sherry

Karla,

We should ALL be grateful for what God has given to us. Just when we think all hope is lost, there are so many others who don't have what we have! Beautiful, uplifting poem; very well done! BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D

You've just insured yourself here from crushing defeat and black despair, Karla! You did this by believing in yourself and connecting with an unfailing spiritual power source. Feels good, doesn't it?
