I am blessed.
I got good times and bad times just like you; but I stay blest.
I am a blessing, seeing blessings all around, expecting blessing and constantly receiving them.
If you woke up you are blessed,
perhaps with nothing more than the chance to struggle another day, but you are blessed none the less.
They say where there is life; there is hope. Where there is hope, faith can live. Faith can move mountains or give you the strength to go around them.
It rains on every man’s house; but the sun also shines in the places rain falls.
They got a t-shirt that says, “Shit happens.” It’s on a t-shirt, therefore it must be true. But if you pay attention it just says “shit” happens. If you have the right perspective you can see that it means good shit can happen too. Matter a fact your trouble might be someone else’s lucky break. It’s always a matter of perspective. If you have the perspective that its all blessings, then even in your troubled times you move forward, thankful for the lessons and a little taller inside.
There must be pain for joy to exist. Without tears what do smiles mean? If it never gets dark, light loses its meaning. Sugar and salt are a part of the journey; both meaningful and necessary. Seeds sprout in the dark and grow towards the sun. Everything dies in the winter and is reborn in the Spring.
Things just “are”; “is,” is. Trouble will happen if you are alive. But if obstacles can be seen as opportunities for inspiration, then what can stop you? What can you become if everything feeds you, even your bad times?
There is an art in seeing the blessing; an art in finding the lesson. To become proficient in this art is a blessing within it self. Here is the land, in which there is always a way to move forward, you pay for the lessons and you grow.
Blest
yeah though I dwell in the valley of sorrow
I say ashe
I Godz remember I
don’t let I be fuel for the fire
& I remember to say yes
test I mettle to make it stronger
send I mountains I’m gon climb ’em
with I head high & heart full of song
close every path
I’ll still find them
remember I
the lioness
standing after the battle
separated from the sheep
like chafe from wheat
thankful for all
prayer is better than sleep
I Godz dress I to stand on I own two feet
I Godz remember me
people I sleep with elders
path finders direction reminders
clear away all I own
and bless I with the new
may I always come anew
strip away all I don’t need
and teach I to fly unafraid
give I enough
tears to clear I vision
heart to stand I ground
love to understand
courage to sing the loudest
when its darkest
to be the warmest
when the worlds too cold
never will I be broken
ain’t no weapons that can prevail
right is I banner
truth is I sword
moving ever forward
that’s I reward
if you see I in the valley
remember there’s iron in I soul
when I’m crying
I’m giving tears their way
the fire is never far away
when I’m shining
I’m never satisfied
gonna go forward as long as there is life
nothing is earned without sacrifice
so bless me to grind
for the rest of I life
and a few years after I die
raise I like sun
teach I and watch I learn
I don’t know how to be afraid
I want I God to be proud of
what life gifted made
so I recognize
I got I Godz attention
the gifts, the test, the miles before I rest,
I don’t forget that I blest
ashe
