Count Your Blessings

Clear your minds of troubles,
If only for today
It will give your heart a lift
And blow troubling thoughts away.

Try to occupy your thoughts,
On things that bring a smile,
You will find yourself smiling too
In a little while.

Count your blessings,
We all have quite a few.
There are many in this world,
Who would change places with you?
