Stunningly Blessed

This is the tale of a man

who saw years of struggle

turned into success

in ways he never could have fathomed or guessed,

so beautifully, stunningly blessed

His Own Mess

A man with his face sunken in,

looks like he could die any minute

he’s had a rough go of life

He’s got to admit

but somehow he’s still kicking

There’s things he’s done in his past

that he regrets but can’t take back,

We’ve all been through that,

all he can do is seek out forgiveness

for taking so much for granted

& take responsibility for his own mess

& live w/the consequence

Delia

Delia was a young girl, born in a city near the Rio Grande

Her Daddy was an agricultural man, Always just doing the best he can

By the time Delia was eight years old, She joined him working her time away

Hardly had the chance to go to school, barely rested or even played

She worked hard, sweating in the heat

but oh, she never complained,

She had callouses on her hands, blisters on her feet

She would do anything she could

To help her family make ends meet

Heartfelt Kiss

They’re each working hard every week

to make the rent

There’s more month than money,

it’s all quickly spent

but they’ve still got their happiness

People often wonder how they do it

They say:

“we make time for the little things,

in each other’s arms we find our bliss,

Take nothing for granted, each night before

we go to sleep, we end our days w/a heartfelt kiss”
