Special Gifts

Special Gifts

Everyday of my life,
a shower of special gifts
pours on my soul in rife.
Grateful, my spirit lifts.

The just born baby next door,
beauty and love shine in the face
of the mother as her heart soars.
Looking on, God’s replica I trace.

Son’s email about his award
fills me with humility and pride.
My mother’s grace I adore
a privilege I love to abide.

A loving husband, endearing
neighbors, friends and country men,
birds, flowers and silky skies, clear
nights and modern trends with yen,

like a sky with a thousand rainbows
like a night illumined by countless stars
earth is a blessed and a unique combo
of heaven’s grace and man’s genius by far.
