Emily’s Poetry

Gifts

Thank you God
for the breath you gave me.
Thank you for a roof over my head,
food and drink for my body.
Thank you for my job of 15 years.
I have family and friends that love me.
Thank you for teachers who care
and animals and pets to nurture.
The blessings of my life
are rich and many.
I count these gifts every day.

Crafting a Happy World

Fashioning tiny hats for babies
and warm, soft quilts for veterans.
Pouring my love into each piece,
warming hearts along the way.
Stepping forth for my community.
Crafting a happier world.
