I am Blessed - Visitor's Poem

by Amanda Staine
(Brooklyn, United States)

What would make a person feel so envious, I thought!
I stopped and took a moment out of my busy routine.
I'm looking left, I'm looking right, but I see,
They probably wonder where they stand,
If I was the person looking in at me, I'll be like,
"You have this and you have that"
I am blessed.
I just keep looking around and there is no limit,
I have everything coming from every way.
I am blessed.
I have so much to be grateful for, I can give away and don't feel a thing.
I am blessed.
What did I do to attain these things? Keep faith
I am blessed.
The only thing I can say is wow, no one should be able to move me.
I am blessed.
Everyday everything should be making me feel more grateful, because I learned to appreciate the small thing, that helps me appreciate the big thing, that will lead me into appreciating life itself, just from having what I have.
I take another look left, another look right and I tell myself,
I am blessed.
