Blessings
By Shereema Ibrahim, 6/9/05
Hidden behind every door is a
blessing
Around every corner is a
blessing
At every crossroad we choose
our blessing
We go about our lives
struggling to make sense
The everyday occurrences of
Getting up..........washing
up
Getting
dressed...........doing our hair
Walking............talking..........thinking............breathing
In and of themselves, they
are each a blessing
Sometimes the path we’re on,
chosen or forced upon
We struggle through
Pain............anger...........rage
And then hopelessness
Surrounded by absolute
darkness
There is always light
The choice is ours; it’s
called “Free Will”
A blessing in itself
To fight.........be
strong.........to rise above
To see beyond the trees
To learn..............to grow
Teach others what we’ve come
to know
Use our
struggle..........pain...............and agony
To turn things all around
Reap the blessings of your
survival
Then be blessed for doing so.
