"BLESSED"

  I've witnessed the ugliness in the world,


  Walked amongst it, throughout my time.


  What then is its worth, have i missed something,


  I know of the good, the great and wonderful 
  Things.

  At times, that which is around me, gets clouded,


  Sadness and anger are seen on many a face.


  Within all of this, I am blessed, 


  Yes! blessed with ongoing life,


  Blessed, with friends and family,


  Blessed, with the love of a caring woman.


  I've seen both sides of life, and I am blessed.
