floral of gratitude and sound

not sure where this came from

negligent with blessings

left them on the floor stepping on top of them

crushing... not seeing I might get more

 treating the ones retrieved as if appreciated

without underrating considering faded

skating past them behaving comparable to some Olympic glide

while tuned to begging in double toned shepherd essence

released from obedient school

not to take them for granted but politely rescue

their residuals from the ground

expose benefits throwing no undue shade

I could be all the fairer… if I let them

shower their magic thanking the one bestowing quantity

never imagined

multiply as prolifically as I could afford

possibly I should commence to bended levels

with chin covered decollate clasped palms making attempts at atonement

owing the last drop of rain for the meadows debut

beds that spring petals they ballad to

therefore, I should reclaim these blessings

play for them chords of various mellow

entitled

a rich banishment of hapless exclusions

sometimes we take blessings for normalcy. it isn't until they are gone , that we realize there importance.

Had to read this on a few times, but it just kept getting better.

You know some of you give commentary so profound and gracious I have to go away and come back because I don't know how to respond. I hope at times I do the same for you . Thank you SL that was gold.

Elegantly crafted and was kind of lost in your work...mesmerizing!

[Shirlena]

Picking up those who have fallen takes a caring heart and a desire to make things better for another. Not sure if I am close or not, but your poem today says this to me. Pick them up, help them to their feet, show them gestures of affection, whether you receive anything in return or not. Another wonderful poem Shirlena. I really enjoy reading your work.

I like your interpretation will but would you believe I'm speaking in complete alliteration about how sometimes I take my blessings for granted and thank you so much for enjoying my poetry. I'm so flattered.

I can see that now.
