An ode to my blessings

It took me awhile to get here. I fit here.

No more stressing, just counting my blessings.

I’ve got strength and my health. Faith is my wealth.

I can’t express how much I am proud of myself.

Life is looking lovely. I’m surrounded by people who love me.

All the credit goes to the father above me.

I got my life on track and that’s a fact. I stand tall because God’s got my back.

And just like that I’m thankful to be alive and not dead. I no longer see red.

I sleep in a good bed with a roof over my head.

I’ve recovered from the wounds where I bled. Yeah I said what I said.

They say bless this mess, well the mess is me.

The good Lord ain’t got nothin’ but the best for me.

Woke up this morning and had funds in my pocket.

Sun shining as I went to work, I couldn’t knock it.

My heart is beating good. A lot of food in my fridge so I’m eating good.

My soul is full. I know where the blessing fest is from. The best is yet to come

I’m blessed with a lot of Ambition in my heart to help me thrive.

Thanking the man upstairs because it’s good to be alive.
