Joy of Life
I've faced my demons
tamed the beast inside of me
all the while I have known
It was done through God's mercy
Everything I have today
is a blessing from the man above
I celebrate this life of joy
holding precious how I feel His love
I thank God every morning
for this new life I've received
and the chance to help my fellow man
whenever they're in need.

Dear F,
Somehow I’m always gobsmacked when I read a poem of faith and gratitude and then feel completely remiss that I didn’t stop and offer thanks before I was off and running on as many inane errands as I could think up. I’m glad for this as a reminder to be grateful first, then tea, then errands. Really beautiful write. H🌷
