As I stop to review,
My life in retrospect.
I have come to realize,
God has bestowed upon me...
One of my best blessings,
I have as of yet to get...
I can confess,
Could not have been better received.
When I reminisce the leaving behind,
My worldly possessions I had collected...
Over a period of time,
And to do that twice to be at the side...
Of someone loved more than possessions.
I knew my reluctance was being tested.
And I admit I was torn between,
Those decisions I volunteered to walk away...
From objects acquired to express TRUE LOVE.
Leaving me to have not one regret. Not a one.
And today to see years later,
How others prioritize their selfishness and greed.
To get over the disbelief of it.
I can only thank God,
On a daliy basis when I pray.
That I have been saved from being enslaved,
From believing what I have acquired to possess...
Deserves more love and attention from me to get,
Than expressing my feelings of love...
To those before they returned to an eternal rest.
So glad I am God has bestowed upon me,
A peace of mind I could never pay for.
Or believe I would find to afford it to get.
And...
That is the best blessing I can confess,
I have as of yet to get to make my life...
Better lived.
