Gratitudes Poem by Ben Akinpelumi

The number of sands in the sea befit not
my list;
If all the stars are named, my list will be
the sky.
It's a colorful list fuller than the rainbow: I'm blessed with pretty brains and
hearts as friends.
Heavens' hands serve our rich soil with
rain.
Our farms are fresher than new wine.
We've got light at night. Thank God for science!
Learning is as close as a click of the
mouse.
I'm blessed with God's Manual: The Holy
Bible
He teaches me daily my true identity, And drives me on the path higher than
the earth.
I'm a joyful being alive.
In fact, I'm more than joy if death should
knock!
To live is Christ, to die is gain. It's true our land sucks human blood,
Yet milky dews flow from coast to coast.
(Only intact senses will drink of the
milky dews)
There is fragrance in the air, yet breath
is cheap. Love has saved me and sings in my soul
Praise God, I have nothing to lose
Yes, nothing to lose though breath be
gone
