When You Know You Are Blessed

Neville

When You Know You Are Blessed

 

when the queue

is down

to just one

and that one

just so happens

to be you ..

And

when the train

arrives

bang on time

and it

starts raining

the very

same second

you hop

on board ..

When the

outside toilet

seat

is still warm

to the touch ..

And

when you

look in your

new

grandchild’s

eyes

and she smiles ..

Well

then you

just know that

you have

been blessed ..

        When it’s your day then rejoice be it blessed or luck or mathematical inevitability. Cuz those other days when dog bites and the bees sting and lightning hits like a Lou Christie song, well those days might also occur. That warm outside toilet might not be thoughts I’d think about though?

        • Neville



          You evidently have not heard about our winters .. Cheers Bobby O .. always so muchly appreciated. Neville

          • Bobby O

            Back at cha!
            I’m guessing a Chicago winter ain’t too far behind.

            • Neville

            • Doggerel Dave

              Grandad role suits you.....but I hope it doesn't become (don't think it will) all of you...

              • Neville



                I'm sure it won't Dave .. there are other things to worry about too .. cheers🍷

                Good write N.
                Now my poem 'Life with KP' subtitled 'When you know you're not blessed!' lol.

                • Neville



                  I find that hard to believe .. what with all your hymn poems n all that I would've thought you were on the cusp of sainthood πŸ˜‡

                  • orchidee

                    But I married KP one terrible day - heehee. Not that I see her in person much, only in the papers, on TV, etc 99% of the time.

                  • Bella Shepard

                    So often it's the smallest things that mean so much, and for which you are truly grateful. At the end of the day, when you count your blessings, you realize how wonderful your life is. Beautifully, and thoughtfully written dear Nev!

                    • Neville



                      Your visit and blessing made the exercise so very worthwhile Bella .. thank you so much .. N

                      Nothing can steal your heart away like the eyes of your granddaughter. She will rule your life if you let her. Your poem makes this ever so possible. The truth is as you conclude that you are "blessed." What will you do if she shows signs of becoming a poetess? This rang true for me. - Phil A.

                      • Neville



                        what a wonderful thought you have sown for us Phil .. I shall tend and nurture it .. thank you sir

                      • Goldfinch60

                        That smile form youngsters is so very special Neville.

                          isn't it just thanks Andy πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                          'And
                          when you
                          look in your
                          new
                          grandchild’s
                          eyes
                          and she smiles ..'
                          !Brilliant!
                          (oh and
                          what a show stopper
                          of a smile...!)

                          • Neville



                            I know for an absolute fact that I am indeed blessed .. cheers Mek
