Now Lent has come, I went for my confessing,
I asked the priest what penance he would give,
instead of prayers, thank God for every blessing,
so I must change my thoughts to positive.
I’m blest for free with all God’s great Creation,
free body and soul, all free my sins forgiven,
free family, friends, the freedoms of my nation,
my love for God, and almost free--His heaven.
All these a mix of physical, spiritual things,
like Sacraments God graces for us free,
Christ’s Church graced free for common folk and kings,
God’s love freely available for me.
This blest list, Lord, and more--it’s quite a thrill--
to count again as per Your blessed will.
