For those days when you have gained understanding. When blessings are clear it is hard to deny.

The baby lives,
Your best friend survived breast cancer,
Your husband smelled the smoke in time,
You feel the warmth of the sunshine.

You watch the sunrise each morning,
You watch it set each evening.
You witnessed the birth of the rabbits.
You overcame bad habits.

You found a thousand dollars-
When there was no money for the rent.
You got that promotion-
The one you worked so hard for-
Until you were spent.

He asked you to marry him-
The one you always loved.
You didn’t fall that time-
Even though you were shoved.

You sing with a gift so lovely,
It sounds like angels laughing.
You almost died that day,
But he told you, “You must stay.”
