The force within

I'm a very blessed child
Once again I realize
When I close my eyes
I can see myself as a complete human being
All my organs in place, and functioning well
A brain that works
A heart that feels
And a mind for sound judgement
I'm not a cripple
Who has to struggle through the daily grind
I'm lucky enough to be self-dependent
What more can one ask for?
Yes, I falter many a times
But at least I am able to assess that
I have the courage to accept my faults
I ability to overcome them
And the humility to learn from them
At times, I feel like a genius
When certain good ideas pop up
And then I end up congratulating myself
So I don't need others' appreciation
For my personal gratification
Every now and then I can feel the presence of the Force
The Balancing Factor, the Source of Beauty in this cosmos
And every time it comforts me
To know that it is also within me
