Blessings
2005

Blessings arrive in so many ways—
A cool breeze on a hot summer’s day
A laugh, a smile, a quiet retreat,
The feel of the earth beneath your feet.
They come packaged in the form of a safe journey home,
And in knowing that you’re never truly alone.  
But of all these, gifts from above,
The most amazing is pure and faith-filled love.  
It inspires us, moves us, gives us hope,
And is not a raft, but is a boat.  
Its allies are truth and lessons learned,
And knowing some things can’t be earned.  
Love is more than a word, it lies in proof,
Perfect examples live under my roof.
