Grateful Reflections: Counting Life’s Blessings.
In the quiet of dawn when the day is still new,
When the world whispers softly, a peaceful hue,
I pause for a moment, heart open and free,
To count every blessing life’s granted to me.
A breath of fresh air as the morning unfolds,
The warmth of the sun in its radiant golds,
The song of a bird in the treetops so high,
These gifts, though simple, are treasures to the eye.
I think of the shelter that keeps me secure,
A roof overhead, walls sturdy and sure,
The comfort of home, a place to belong,
Where love fills the space, where hearts are strong.
The laughter of friends that light up the day,
Their voices like music in a beautiful way,
The joy of connection, the bond that we share,
These are the blessings beyond any compare.
I count all the moments, both big and small,
When life’s gentle whispers answered my call,
Through struggles and trials, I’ve learned and I’ve grown,
Each step of the journey, I’ve never been alone.
The kindness of strangers, a smile or a nod,
The feeling of hope, the grace of a God,
Who watches and guides with a hand that is true,
These are the blessings that carry me through.
For every challenge, there’s a lesson to learn,
A wisdom, a strength, a grace to discern,
The storms may be fierce, the night may be long,
But dawn always breaks with a new hopeful song.
I’m grateful for health, for body and mind,
For vision that’s clear, for senses that find,
The beauty in life, the wonders that be,
In everything around, a blessing to see.
The meals that nourish, the water that flows,
The seasons that change, the life that grows,
The earth beneath, so steady, so strong,
Each moment a blessing, each day a song.
I think of the past, the memories held dear,
The loved ones I’ve lost, who still feel so near,
Their voices in echoes, their love in the air,
These are the blessings beyond any compare.
For every mistake, there’s a chance to amend,
To learn, to forgive, to start again,
The gift of redemption, the power to change,
A blessing so deep, a life rearranged.
The love of a family, the bond that won’t break,
Through trials and triumphs, for each other’s sake,
In the warmth of their hearts, I find my peace,
These are the blessings that never cease.
For every new day, with its own chance to start,
I’m grateful for life, for the beat of my heart,
For the dreams that inspire, the hopes that ascend,
These are the blessings that never end.
The beauty of nature, the ocean, the sky,
The mountains that rise, the rivers that sigh,
In the vastness of earth, in all that I see,
A reminder of blessings, of life’s mystery.
I count all the moments when love filled the air,
When joy was abundant, when life was fair,
The smiles, the hugs, the words softly spoken,
These are the blessings, life’s true token.
For each simple pleasure, a walk in the park,
A book by the fire, a night cold and dark,
A moment of stillness, of quiet, of peace,
These are the blessings that never cease.
In counting these blessings, my heart feels so light,
The burdens of life seem less heavy, less tight,
For in every corner, in every place,
There’s a blessing to find, a touch of grace.
So, I’ll keep on counting, each day, each night,
The blessings of life, both hidden and bright,
For in every heartbeat, in every breath,
There’s a blessing to cherish, from life until death.
The gratitude flows, like a river so wide,
With each blessing counted, I feel more inside,
The joy of living, the wonder, the grace,
In counting my blessings, I find my place.
