It’s a steaming cup of hot coffee on the coldest of winter days.

It’s a gentle breeze cooling the effects of summer’s scorching rays.

It’s the melody of your favorite song playing on the radio.

It’s the first glance of ground freshly covered in snow.

It’s life’s simple blessings that bring bouts of joy to the heart,

and the friends who are kind enough to take part.

Whether it be a helping hand or merely a warm smile that will do,

friends are the blessings of life sent to see you through.

It’s the smell of your favorite dish ready to serve.

It’s a soak in relaxing waters to calm a frayed nerve.

Life’s simple blessings, they enrich and they mend.

Thank you for the blessing of being my friend.
