We Are Blest

We Are Blest

We all have our dark valleys,

And we have our days of rest,

Life's road is strewn with puddles,

But we are truly blest.

It isn't always easy,

To be thankful in a storm,

But when we seek long enough,

Our lives will be transformed.

And as we walk down memory lane,

In our golden years,

We have much to smile about,

And smiles can defeat our fears.

We have wandered in green meadows,

Our sins we have confessed,

We know the lessons we have learned,

And we have been truly blest!

Today we see beyond the clouds,

Yesterday was a real mess;

But as we look toward heaven,

We are riding on a crest.

When we hear the thunder rolling,

And see lightening full of zest,

There comes a lovely rainbow,

And, once again, we've been blessed.
