Blessing

labor upon those things that net you gain

not the difficulties that turn over in your mind

think on the beautiful things in the world

deny nothing that brings lightness to your heart

you know very well what it is time to let go of

and you can cherish the good gifts you receive

take a moment to recall the love you are blessed with

don’t deny those who help you along your path

just smile, gift them with an honest offering

and show how you care, how you are grateful

for the things you’ve been given all your life

not the things you missed out on, if you know

that there are reasons you lost something special

but don’t let that loss bring you melancholy

offer the best and brightest part of yourself

and you will be a blessing to all you know
