2017 November Chapbook Challenge: Day 19/Abundance -- Poets United Poets Pantry

Abundance

my life is full                 

my needs are small                  

the weather is mild

the sun shines almost everyday    

happiness is mine           

i am blessed

as i approach                 

the road’s end                         

looking back

it hasn’t been so bad       

of course there have been bumps       

the way hasn’t always been easy

on more than one occasion       

the bridge was out 

broke a wagon wheel once

nothing that couldn’t be fixed    

my hope is the rest of the way

will be no harder than the first

i have a plan         

compass and a map

i am confident

i will reach the oasis        

before night fall

on this night

i will make wishes on shooting stars

give thanks for your presence
