Goldfinch60



I awake into a new day

And I immediately open two gifts,

Two gifts that I always have,

I open my eyes.

Two more gifts come to me

As I hear natures symphony

Coming through my ears.

I arise from my bed

And stand on two more presents

As my legs walk me around.

My day has started like all my days

With gifts given to me

That take me through my life,

My wonderful life,

From beginning to end,

And for this I am grateful,

So very grateful.

 

Be thankful for these gifts,

Do not take them for granted

As there are many in this world

Who do not have these gifts,

And those of us who have,

Must cherish them every moment.

      Gold touching one indeed !! How many of them realize that we are so blessed we have eyes to see the beauty of nature and ears to hear the morning chirpy sounds of birds...Yes we are indeed truly blessed...

        A booze of positivity and gratitude to start the day

        A very pleasant read dear Andy

              You're right. My mobility is giving probs at the moment, so easily taken for granted.

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you d a, I do hope your mobility improves and then we can go and run that marathon - or am I thinking of eating a marathon. LOL

                  that noise you can hear is my reaction to your suggestion ....snickers!
