I Am So Blessed!

Blessed to live in the USA
Especially in times as today.
Blessed to be free
So free to bow on my bended knee
Giving praise to God Almighty.
Yes, I am blessed!

Blessed to have food and shelter from the rain.
Blessed to have lived through good health and pain.
Knowing someday I'll have a home in Heaven to gain.
To sing with the angels a sweet refrain.
Yes, I am blessed!

Blessed having been raised by a good Mom and Dad,
That loved us through the good times and the bad.
Who cared for us children with the best they had,
As they lost their family and times were sad.
Yes, we've been blessed!

Blessed to be married with a family of my own.
Blessed to raise them, now, that they are grown.
Blessed to see more little ones to love,
That have blessed my children from God above.
Yes, we are blessed!

Blessed to have faith to pray,
To bless their comings and their goings
And all that is in between.
To protect them from the hazards, both seen and unseen.
Yes, I am blessed!

So they will know the God of Heaven and what He means,
To me and others who are so blessed,
To be able to pray for them and all the rest,
Who do not know how to thank God above
For giving us all His grace and love.
Yes, we are so blessed!
