It’s in the midst of realizing you have nothing
But knowing you have everything
That God speaks
If you notice the distant chirp of a bird
The innocence of puppies
The cry of a child
The tranquility of a flowing stream
The bloom of flowers in Spring
The confident embrace of a father and child
In the darkness of my self imposed despair
The illusion of grandeur, only more bills,
The drive for more
For more this, for more that,
The need to feel complete,
Then God speaks
Through raging fire and flashing floods
Repossessions, illness, taxes, and death
Wealth offers little immunity to reality
In the midst of realizing you have nothing
You realize you have been blessed beyond measure
Testament of your presence; warm blood in your veins
Gratitude grants giving and grateful individuals the
Gift of blessings beyond measure even in the
Midst of nothingness-
In the midst of nothing
There is life and for life
I’m grateful.
