So Blessed
so blessed
don’t squander
all the many blessings
I was given at birth
it’s incredible
that so many
have so much less
I should appreciate what this life is worth
opportunities
served up to me on a platter
worried about gaining 5 pounds
while some can’t get any fatter
no sustenance
no hope
no chances
but still they persevere
they would give their limbs
to be right here
I worry I’m sick
complain about little things
when all I need worry about
is squandering everything
