Count Your Blessings

Now listen up all ye poets out there Here's an adage I try to live by It seems to work for this old duffer So why don't you give it a try Upon waking up every morning Before you jump out of bed Count all your blessings one by one Keep them stored in your head As each day presents its challenges Remember your many blessings Be thankful for all the little things Enjoy life and it's dressings Now it may not be totally foolproof But at least you're on the right track Trust me you'll be ahead of the game And happiness you surely won't lack So listen up all ye poets out there Let me know how it works out Hope it's a positively roaring success From the rooftops go on and shout! Gazook, hallelujah and fun stuff upbeat Before jumping out of your bed Count your blessings stored in your noggin There's not a single thing to dread
