Count Your Blessings
Count your blessings
We look at the challenges we are facing
How constantly problems are pressing
At how trials are stressing
Subdued in them, we forget to count our blessings
We look at the bad
We are super scared
We worry, we tarry
We throw no party
As if we are blind;
We seek but can’t find
The joy in being alive
We seldom celebrate life.
Oh men, will you try to live
Forgetting not how lucky you are
Appreciating what you have
It may not seem so important when we have it
Because we have it, a little ungrateful
But imagine how worse it’d be if we lacked it.
Think of why those without it crave it.
Then turn around, hug it and embrace it.
