Blessings ~ (Blessings Counted One By One)
Bible thumpers you call us
Less than willing to believe
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Scientific facts.. easier to trust
Something real to believe you once said
I smiled.. having walked down the same road myself
No need for me to let breath go wasted
Goodness and Mercy will find you yet
Should you ever take the time to count
Cant you even count that high
Over and over I hear your rant
Underpaid.. under loved.. pitiful you
Never take for granted the truth of life
Tender moments overlooked
Even the smallest of blessings
Deserves to be recognized
Over and over I sang out loud
Never minding that my throat is dry
Eventually you slept.. peaceful at last
Barely able now to recall
Years of lean times.. basics the blessings
Oh how I cried and prayed
Needing something real to hold on to
Every day a trial.. every moment a blessing.
