My basket is full
of everyday things
we take for granted

a refrigerator and freezer
full of food
and a car that gets me
to the store
to buy...yet more

the sun came up
again today
to shine and warm
and smile on me

how "lucky" can I be?

I have my favorite chair
my books, my lamp
my eyes....are there

I can open my mouth
to read
Words of Life

and I have ears to hear

don't you too?
