Poem: A Blessing It Is

A Blessing It Is

By: Joi Maree Flowers

Such a blessing it is to be

Alive

And

Able

To be summoned again at dawns rising

To awake

And rise

Not held by sleep's drift

Into death's slumber

Such a blessing it is to be

Needed

And wanted

To complete an assignment by God

For his will

And purpose

As destiny would have it

Written before our knowing

Such a blessing it is to be

Seen

And received

As a blessing to someone in need

To aid

And help

As one neighbor

To another

Such a blessing it is to be

Chosen

And loved

By our Father above

To be given time

To continue in this life

To continue to live our purpose

Because it is not yet our time to die

Amen
