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.
