Blessed

From my first cry

Mother's embrace, father's joyful face

Medicine says its for air

But for me it was for joy

I already knew I was blessed

 

A place really home

Tonka toys, Christmas joys

Where my heart stayed

And summer lingered

I grew up loved and blessed

 

Created two measures

Bug and kitten, we're smitten

Depths, heights, tears, joys

Holding on, letting go

Sacred duty, honor and blessing

 

And 28 years loved

Best friends, make amends

She gets me

I get her

True love, my blessing

 

There is no equity

My share, is unfair

There's no accounting

For beauty or love

Or all my blessings.
