Cherishing Life’s Gifts: God’s Blessings

The blog will be on hiatus in September due to various reasons. So I like to pause with a poem I wrote in 2008. I think it still has resonance today, especially in this climate of uncertainty and fear mongering. I leave you with five things in nature that are precious gifts from God.

Sunrise and sunset,

TIME is a gift

that rarely one appreciate

until it is too late.

No service is done

by our headlong rush,

For God’s gift of BEAUTY

shall we likely miss.

Every breath is a gift,

A gift of life, of MOMENTS,

For who knows

when the journey’s end.

Looking out, searching within,

To seek the TRUTH,

A precious gift

for those with understanding.

The ultimate prize,

so illusive as it is,

that rarely we attain,

God’s gift of PEACE.
