The Blessing

In a quiet empty room,

One lonely Saturday...

I suddenly realize

How blessed I am!

The gentle sunlight

Through the window,

Caresses my skin...

Breeze strokes my hair.

And I question,

Am I really alone?

Am I not surrounded

By the divine now!

But it's all so easy

To forget and never

Acknowledge, our gifts;

To find only grief and hate...

Then I realize,

It's also a blessing...

To know your blessing

And see beyond the futile!
