For each Monday’s prompts
I am forever grateful
as these pics do help
as do the ideas too
get those thoughts percolating

bring me a cup of tea on a cold day
the blessing of romance
is in the eye of the receiver

I gave you sunshine
You didn’t see it
I gave you moonlight
You didn’t appreciate it
I gave you children’s laughter
You got annoyed
I gave you a sweet someone
You complained when would the one come
I gave you a loyal puppy
You said there was too much work
You let all the blessings pass by
Now you cry to me like an orphan
‘God are you ever there?’
