Count All Your Blessings

Count All Your Blessings
Count all your blessings
Each one you’ve known
Thank the Lord God truly 
For each glory shown. 

Count all your blessings
Teach hearts to love
A gift that’s yours to give
From God above. 

The seeds that you’ve sown
Need tender care to grow
Into beautiful souls
Our dear Lord tells us so. 

Count all your blessings
Teach how to love
A gift that’s yours to give
From God above. 

The seeds that you’ve sown
Need tender care to grow
Into beautiful souls
Our dear Lord tells us so.

Count all your blessings
Teach how to love
A gift that’s yours to give
From God above.

Silpika Kalita Date: 12/10/2021 2:06:00 AM Dear Belle, how true each and every syllable is, amidst pain, we curse our destiny merely to forget the blissful blessings we still have something not to loose hope even in those darkest hours! Thought I didn't hear the song yet, still can feel, nothing can be more apt and lyrical than the one..

Marikate Kingston Date: 12/7/2021 3:31:00 PM Your poem is so very moving. I have lost 2 people in my life, to cancer, COPD recently. It is ironic how I came across your poem today. Time to not take my own healthy life for granted anymore. This is a beautiful poem. God bless.
