COUNTING BLESSINGS!
During my childhood days, I had once let
a gas balloon escape, -
Into the vast expanse of the vast blue space!
It had turned into a tiny speck and melted
into infinite space!
Those were the days filled with wonder, -
And the balloon toed a child’s waking dreams,
- no wonder!
Now after many long years, I neither marvel
at the infinite,
Nor do I lament the finiteness of things!
I thank the Lord for all that I have for the
time being!
For the happiness and joy which life brings!
Not for how long I will have them!
