Count Our Blessings

Count our blessings, not what’s lacking, It’s the key to a happy life; God’s graces flow from dawn-breaking, Count our blessing, not what’s lacking And be thankful to Christ our King; Feel His presence amidst the strife, Count our blessings, not what’s lacking, And have faith when trials come rife.

Triplets are not easy which makes them a lot of fun. You did it, and I inhaled the theme. Would add an s to blessing because we are just blessed with so many! CayCay

Thank you so much again for reading one of my poems my dear poet friend Caycay. Thank you so much for your suggestion. Now I'm putting back the "s" coz I didn't understand why it just popped up in my mind the idea to remove it. Originally I've "s" from the title. Thank you so. much. God bless you always and your poetic talent. Hugs
