I Am Blessed

I Am Blessed

I am truly blessed
I have a beautiful loving wife
three sons
two lovely daughters-in-law
and three terrific grandsons

a home for shelter
and food to eat
my health is pretty good
my heart is strong
and my COPD is under control

I have 9 dogs and a palomino quarter horse
all who love me unconditionally
the dogs can sense when I’m feeling down
and lay their head in my lap and lick my hand
their way of saying, “I love you Dad”

My mind is still sharp and I can still create
and write my poetry
my eyesight is good (with glasses)
and my new hearing amplifiers
let me hear my music better than I have in years

I have lived for 76 years
life is good
and I am blessed
