BLESSINGS

Paul has asked us to write a blessing
poem for Tuesday Poetics this week.
What a wonderful idea to put blessings
and positive thoughts out into the
universe!

****************************

May you know the blessing of each
new day, and remember those who are
denied that gift.

May you know the blessing of family love,
and share it generously and gratefully.

May you appreciate the blessing of a roof
over your head and a warm bed, and remember
those for whom these are only dreams.

May you be blessed with gratitude for enough,
and not be greedy for too much.

May you be blessed to see the beauty of nature,
and  learn to treat it well.

May you be blessed with respect for those who
are irksome, and remember you don’t walk
in their shoes.

May you be blessed with friends, and remember
to be a good and thoughtful friend.

May you be blessed with the art of kindness,
and leave it wherever you go.

    We have so many blessings. I especially liked the kindness at the end and "blessed with gratitude for enough".

    The sentiments of a full heart. Well worthy of a plaque hanging on the kitchen wall.

    Ah yes...living like this, thinking like this is an art, I believe; and it takes time to attain the purest form. ;)

    Yes. This is filled with the kindness that it would be lovely to share all around.

    Every bit of this is beautiful! I especially like the idea of leaving kindness everywhere we go.

    These are the words of a wise woman who, as someone once told me, has been around the block a time or two!

    It reminds me that as we share our good qualities so shall we gain equally. I love your last verse especially about leaving kindness wherever we go.
