Little Flower

                            

Thank you little flowers that are under my feet, giving way without a cry, as I pass-by. Thank you fresh air that fills my lungs restoring me without my constant awareness. Thank you light that shows me today and guides me towards tomorrow. Thank you heart for beating, for dancing within me, even when I do not hear your steady song. Thank you eyes that look like the eyes of many ancestors ahead of me, whose shape I see in the faces I love, who show me I belong. Thank you arms that hold me tight, thank you word sorry for-giving me courage to try again and again. Thank you little flowers that reach to the sun after I walk by and scent my days with a fragrance of peace.

    Indeed, Count your blessings!
    Thank you for the reminder: When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
