Gift of a lifetime
Savor the good life, healthy
in body and mind

Pray to Providence
Extend a climate of love
To all and sundry

Peaceful,  devoid of
natural calamities
without blood and tears

Blessed with a good year
Accomplished with fine results
Better yet next year

    Hank,

    Your poem gives thanks for all the important gifts we have in life. Sometimes we lose sight of the wonderful life we enjoy....
    Very best wishes to you Hank for Christmas and new Year:)
