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

    you can keep your wine and roses
    bring me a cup of tea on a cold day
    the blessing of romance
    is in the eye of the receiver

    Blessings

    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?’
