I Am Blessed

I am Blessed, because I can laugh at myself;

And I will have no end of fun.

I am Blessed, because I know how to relax

Without looking for excuses;

I am Blessed, because I am sane enough

Not to take myself too seriously;

I will be valued most by me.

I am Blessed, because I can appreciate a smile and forget a frown;

I will walk on the sunny side of the street.

I am Blessed, because I can be kind in

Understanding the attitudes of others

Even when the signs are unfavorable;

I may be taken for a fool, but this is the price of charity.

Blessed are they who understand

My faltering step and shaking hand.

Blessed are they who know my ears today

Must strain to catch the things they say.

Blessed are they who seem to know

My eyes are dim, my mind is slow.

Blessed are they with cheery smile

Who stop to chat for a little while.

Blessed are they who make it known

I’m loved, respected and not alone.
