Recognize Your Blessings

We are leading human life,

means deficits will be there,

frustrations will be fixtures.

But let’s not get carried away,

that we forget our blessings.

I am grateful that I understand mine.

I was not born with a silver spoon.

Had struggles, still have many.

Who said living immigrant life

and raising little kids,

in high cost of living, is easy?

In middle age body.

But then I can see my blessings,

and it fills me with ecstasy.

As I write this,

I am standing in my garden,

and looking beyond it, I see

the leafy Brisbane Box tree,

and hummingbirds and finches

resting on its branches,

singing, soothing melodies.

The waning cold moon

graces the western sky.

Lizards sunbathe on the garden wall.

The Chinese rain tree leaves

are green and yellow.

The distant clay hills

were once ocean bottom,

now covered in native plants.

There are patches of green,

they are mustard,

which will bloom in spring.

The sunlight on my skin,

the fresh air keeping me alive,

feel therapeutic.

How can I ignore these gifts?

Somebody may be craving those,

missing those so badly.

Develop the art

of recognizing your gifts.
