how is it I do not see?

How Lord, can I not see

all that I have

You have given me

the large and small

are blessings

given

the things grey

and those filled with color

brilliant and bright

how do I not see

these gifts

are my eyes so tightly closed

my ears blocked

that I see not

these gifts

how is it, that I am not grateful

for the blessings

that I find from You

along the way

simple things to complex

all are from You

gifts given

blessings shared

how is it, that I do not see

how blind am I

to not notice

that the rains You send

with replenish the earth

filling it with flowers

gifting a planet

with water to drink

gardens small and large

to grow, from the gift of rain

how is it, I do not see

are my eyes so blind

that I no longer look

that I no longer appreciate

the blessings You give

thank You Lord

that a simple thing

such as a hole

in the bottom of my shoe

will give me cause to remember

will give cause

to open my eyes

to the things You give

Your gifts, Your blessings

granted, in the form of rain.
