Count Your Blessings Not Your Problems

She doesn’t have a man, But her trash gets taken out, She doesn’t have a car, But she knows the bus routes, She doesn’t have a lot of money, But her bills get paid, She’s not super model pretty, But her smile is as bright as the sun’s rays, Her child doesn’t have a father, But neither did she, They have each other, This seems to be all they need, She doesn’t have a man to hold her at night, But she wakes up to her daughter’s smile, That makes everything alright, She doesn’t have a lot of friends, The one she has, is the truest to the end, She gets lonely, But she knows she’ll be ok She doesn’t have a lot, Things are not always great, Some people have left her behind, She’s grateful for the ones who stayed, She doesn’t worry about what she lacks She just thanks God, for always having her back.
