Touched By Your Blessings

To live, to love, to see, to hear, to taste, to speak

Touched by the hands of God, we are blessed

No words can express my thanks, for my words be weak

For thou are strong, I am adorned by your wonderous creation

Inlove with life, what it may be, to see the colors of the world

To love a woman or a man, give birth to a new life, raise a family

To hear the birds chirping, the raindrops trickling, voices singing

To smell the coffee brewing, the fragrance of the lilies of the valley

To taste the sweetness of the plums, the elegance of meringue on a pie, the salt

Of the sea, the bitter juice of the lemon, the spice in the sauce amore

To feel the strength in my fathers hands, the delicate touch of my babies feet

To breathe in the air, the breeze on my face, to think with my brain, as I listen

To touch the strings of the instruments I play, to hold you in my arms

To my heart beat, with the energy I have been blessed, touched

By the diversity of life, I hold my kitten to my face and I smile

I smile and then I give thanks for my hands, I write, I pray, I paint, I grasp

As I grasp lifes embrace, to my legs let me walk and then run, then kneel

As I give praise, I am touched with every breath I take, a beginning and everlasting

Gift of thanks, as the angels sing, I hear their harps address my innerself of

Complete devotion to you, for you have completed me, fulfilled every need

As I sit next to my window, the sun beaming onto my face, with grace and serenity

I play the strings of my feelings, my emotions of tears of joy pour out to you

For without you I would be nothing but a rock sitting still, now your blessings you bring

To me and to the world, I am most humbled and gratefully touched by you

I strum my fingers across these strings, playing my very best

For I have been blessed and then

Touched
