As this year comes to an end
I try to list my blessings
To weigh this year against the rest
Is not really the reason for this test
I have not become wealthy
I am not really very healthy
But I have so many blessings
So many dear friends
A place to lay my head at night
More food than I really need
So though everything may not be just right
I have all that I really need
As I look out amidst this world
I can see my blessings unfurled
This year I will share
Christmas with many who care
I wish all were equally blessed
That none were overly stressed
So I will spend some time on my knees
Sending to heaven heartfelt pleas
And thanking God for my relative ease

Beautifully from the

That was beautiful and from the heart. Very good Mary.
