BLESSINGS

God has given much to me,

An unending sky, a fathomless sea,

Food more than some great past kings,

Clothes and shoes – too many things.

Health that keeps me off a hospital floor,

And away from the specialist’s door.

I’ve a lady, my very own wife,

To have and to hold all of life,

Two sons with mates and kids of their own,

Daughters married (seed numbers unknown).

God has given much to me.

These lines I hope help you see.
