As the years pass, and we endure our share of trials and tribulations,we come to know just how lucky we are for our many blessings.After we've recovered from an illness,we realize it's a blessing to be free of physical pain;after suffering despair, we're grateful that the light of happiness and hope returns.After being hungry, we truly appreciate the bounty of the harvest. Thanks Nelson, for fighting for freedom in our dear continent
ReplyDeleteAnd after we've lost family and friends,
we understand just how lucky we are
for those we have.
