I woke and found my blessing in this morning that had come The air felt new and vibrant, for my night had brought the sun It shone upon my wanting soul and gave me light to see That God is all around, all time, with inner love to free This world is full of grieving, full of wrongs that plague its land And though I am but miniscule, I offer now my hand To link a chain of people with one common goal in sight For peace and ever friendship through the Holy words of right Today I smiled at someone and they smiled on back at me With just that simple action, something warm inside was free And I was taken captive by the feeling it did give Today I feel much kinder with an insight to forgive A faith it lay within me; which had slowly come to show This gift of my believing, such as everyone should know It’s come to be my freedom, my extension that does speak Each action now I take in life, my strength when I am weak Today I found a vision, which remains here in my mind Of joy and human kindness, which I once could never find It’s blessed me with acceptance, with a drive I never knew It’s given me a peace on earth and better work to do Once lost, I’m now contented as I’m guided by God’s hand He’s taken all my questions and has made me understand He’s filled my void of wanting, giving guidance and reprieve He's blessed all of humanity; by just letting us believe [This message has been edited by Rick (05-27-2003 08:02 AM).] |

Oh Rick...you are so right...it is in the blessings we give...it is the part of us we give away...that is how we receive our true blessings. Simple as a stranger's smile...a kiss upon a child's cheek, or an "I'm sorry." Loved this, Patricia |

Hello Rick I am absolutely amazed that there are so few comments on this marvellous piece of writing so I am putting it back where it belongs, on the top! The warmth within your soul radiates through your beautiful words. Take care.......Sue I am in motion |

Dear Sue, you are a wonderful lady, thank you so much for your comments here, your response makes much worth while to me, take care my friend, again thank you. Dear Dixie, nice to see you here again, may I shine my light a while longer yet, so darkness does not fall on your soul and you can smile with me for a long time to come. Thank you both my friends, your comments are always very much appreciated and heart felt. Sincerely Rick |
