Zaneta Varnado Johns
Not exempt from life’s tribulations or trials
Blessed by abundance, thankfully I smile
Not exempt from divorce or things gone bad
Blessed by new love and the strength I had
Not exempt from scarce funds back in the day
Blessed to have enough to share and play
Not exempt from anger about social ills
Blessed by protection and God’s great will
Not exempt from sickness, short or long
Blessed by faithful prayers, I emerge strong
Not exempt from grief when my loved ones passed
Blessed to have memories to forever last
Not exempt from occasional anxiety or doubt
Blessed when my spirit releases the fraught
Not exempt from body aches here and there
Blessed by purpose and planned self-care
Not exempt from time’s escalating speed
Blessed by a yearning to do good deeds
