How Blessed Are We

by Anabela Loureiro
(Toronto, Canada)

How blessed are we just to be...
To be able to dream
and make that dream come true.
It takes determination and will power,
strength and reassurance hour upon hour.
When the fire we possess
starts brewing inside,
it's time to release
those inhibitions and pride.
And let our faith and divine grace
lead us toward that magical place
and allow us to continue
at our own precious pace.
