Loves Blessings

My life has been richly blessed
With an abundance of sweetest love
All the riches of the world I possess
Tucked away safely, within my heart

Bestowed upon me, the finest of treasures
Love, which has been freely given
Rewarding me with the greatest pleasures
For me to do with as only I may determine

My parents love, my foundation gave
To emerge with grace from shelled cocoon
Spreading wings, until it's time for my grave
Soaring freely on the currents of life

The love of my children, God's special gift
Brings my circle round into total completion
I now feel whole and perfectly content
As the circle of life continues to revolve
