8 MORE BEATITUDES
Blessed are our plastic pill boxes
because they tell us what day it is.
Blessed are the words on our T-shirts because
they get us talking to one another.
Blessed are our young people because
they remind us that there is a future to work for.
Blessed are the old timers because they tell us
we have a past with its stories and its learnings.
Blessed are our wheels because they make
it easier to get us to where we’re going.
Blessed are cats and dogs because they tell us
“Feed us” along with
all of creation.
Blessed are our sins and mistakes because they
can teach and bring us to humility and understanding.
Blessed are the weather reports because they give us
something else to talk about besides those we don’t like.
