“A Multiplicity of Blessings”
Some say that blessings
don’t come their way.
It’s how you look at blessings,
how you define them,
and what they do to your life.
They are not usually big items
like Mercedes, large homes,
bags full of clothes and stuff
although they could be.
It’s the small things—
peaceful bike rides along the river,
soothing sunsets and sunrises,
gentle cool breezes in the evenings
after a hot day, fresh apple crisp
with vanilla ice cream, a new day with you in it,
grandchildren’s texts and love emojis,
phone calls from friends and families,
a good night’s rest after a challenging day,
being able to exercise in an air-conditioned room,
feeling healthy despite getting older,
understanding things about life
you never thought possible,
being with your spouse on a daily basis,
being surrounded by beautiful flowers,
watching clouds saunter by,
having a simple prayer answered
in a way you didn’t expect,
knowing who and whose you are—
They all add up, like layers of
sourdough pancakes drenched
in fresh maple syrup, ready for you
to enjoy every moment of the day or night.
