BLESSINGS: Frances Haight of Kane sent us some poems on the topic of blessings, and we thought we should share a few with our readers.

The first is for the food delivery worker.

Oh, Those Guys

Now and then I order a dinner

Of my favorite foods to go,

The young men who bring them

Bright up my world just so.

They greet me with a smile

And open my bottle of pop,

They ask how I am doing

And if I feel on top.

They make change and leave,

And go on their happy way,

They don’t realize how much they do

When they brighten up my day.

Haight also shared a poem to remind us to stay connected.

And The Sun Shines On

With the loss of loved ones,

When death took them away,

With the love of friendships,

I celebrate every day.

When days are dark and gloomy,

I remember a friend with a call,

Then the sun shines in our hearts,

And we can laugh as we recall.

Some days are sad even yet,

Some days I just don’t care,

But when a friend gets in touch,

I know their love is there.

I try to return the favor,

When their life is torn,

They know my caring is real,

And their faith is re-born.

O be a friend to someone

Talk to them every day,

Encourage them to keep on going

And to talk to others on their way.
